The Japanese Translation of Rasch's "Probabilistic Models"

A Japanese translation of Georg Rasch's "Probabilistic Models for Some Intelligence and Attainment Tests" was published in August 31, 1985 by the University of Nagoya Press with permission from the University of Chicago Press, the copyright-owners at that time, through Tuttle-Mori Agency, Inc., Tokyo. The book has 237 pages and ISBN 978-4-930689-35-1.
