In 1990, he was elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia for his contributions to measurement in the social sciences.

Contributed workshop Post conference workshop Karl Bang Christensen "Graphical Rasch models"
Karl Bang Christensen is a Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Copenhagen. His work focuses on biostatistics and measurement issues within social and health sciences. He has published extensively about methodology and applications within the field of Rasch measurement. Graphical Rasch models offer a flexible framework to analyze and refine measurement instruments. They combine the principles of Rasch measurement with multivariate graphical models for analysis of categorical data. Essentially, they build upon the Rasch model's focus on person ability and item difficulty by explicitly incorporating relationships betweenitems, a latent trait, and external variables.
Workshop takes place at the University of Copenhagen center for Health and Society, located in the old Municipal Hospital (Kommunehospitalet). Address: Øster Farimagsgade 5, room 5.0.22 on the ground floor in Building 5.
