Peer reviewedGross, Alan L.; Kagen, Edward – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This paper compares an uncorrected with a corrected correlation between a selection test and a test-criterion in terms of expected mean square error (EMSE). It presents evidence that although the uncorrected may be more biased than the corrected correlation, it may have a smaller EMSE value, especially in small samples. (Author/PN)
