Validity Coefficients and Correlated Errors in Test Theory
Zimmerman, Donald W.
Journal of Experimental Education, 45, 3, 4-9, Spr 77
Derives formulas for the validity of predictor-criterion tests that hold for all test scores constructed according to the expected-value concept of true score. These more general formulas disclose some paradoxical properties of test validity under conditions where errors are correlated and have some implications for practical testing situations not apparent under the classical model.
