Peer reviewedDivgi, D. R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1980
The dependence of reliability indices for mastery tests on mean and cutoff scores was examined in the case of three decision-theoretic indices. Dependence of kappa on mean and cutoff scores was opposite to that of the proportion of correct decisions, which was linearly related to average threshold loss. (Author/BW)

Peer reviewedMellenbergh, Gideon J.; van der Linden, Wim J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
For six tests, coefficient delta as an index for internal optimality is computed. Internal optimality is defined as the magnitude of risk of the decision procedure with respect to the true score. Results are compared with an alternative index (coefficient kappa) for assessing the consistency of decisions. (Author/JKS)
