Abstract

Mathematical models have been represented in Psychometrika first in biophysics, then in stochastic models of behavior, and later in computer simulations of behavior. Other specialized journals now attract many articles in these areas, but Psychometrika's policy of broad interest in all aspects of quantitative psychology remains sound. This paper reviews Psychometrika's coverage of mathematical models and computation, and discusses some matters of editorial policy.
