Currently most of my
research concerns ordinal variables and random utility models
for categorical data. More broadly I am interested in categorical data,
latent variable models, measurement error models, simulation-based
computations for inference, and Bayesian statistics. Recently I have
been focusing on account for individual differences in response scale
use (i.e., response styles) in statistical analysis.
Recent
representative publications:
- Johnson, T. R. & Bolt, D. M.
(forthcoming). On the use of factor-analytic multinomial logit item
response models to account for individual differences in response
style. Journal of Educational and
Behavioral Statistics.
- Bolt, D. M. & Johnson, T. R. (forthcoming).
Applications of a MIRT model to self-report measures: Addressing score
bias and DIF due to individual differences in response style. Applied Psychological Measurement.

models for ordinal response variables: A generalization of the
stereotype model. Psychometrika.

Teaching |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I regularly teach Statistics 251 (Statistical
Methods) -- a pre-calculus
level introductory statistics class. I also teach
graduate courses in regression (Statistics 550) and computer intensive
methods (Statistics 565). |
