SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS OF ERROR IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING.
STAKE, ROBERT E.; AND OTHERS – 1962
AN EMPIRICAL STUDY WAS MADE OF THE ERROR FACTORS IN MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALING (MDS) TO REFINE THE USE OF MDS FOR MORE EXPERT MANIPULATION OF SCALES USED IN EDUCATIONAL MEASUREMENT. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH WAS TO GENERATE TABLES OF THE SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN ERROR AND NONERROR MDS DIMENSIONS. THE…

Multivariate Generalizability Models for Tests Developed from Tables of Specifications.
Jarjoura, David; Brennan, Robert L. – New Directions for Testing and Measurement, 1983
Multivariate generalizability techniques are used to bridge the gap between psychometric constraints and the tables of specifications needed in test development. Techniques are illustrated with results from the American College Testing Assessment Program. (Author/PN)

REPRESENTATIVE ORDERING AND SELECTION OF VARIABLES, VOLUMES A AND B--STATISTICAL MODELS FOR THE EVALUATION AND INTERPRETATION OF EDUCATIONAL CRITERIA, PART 3.
BARGMANN, ROLF E. – 1962
THE STUDIES EMBODIED IN THIS REPORT PROPOSE SOME STATISTICAL METHODS OF ORDERING AND ATTAINING RELEVANCY TO HELP THE EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHER CHOOSE AMONG SUCH VARIABLES AS TESTS AND BEHAVIOR RATINGS. CONSTRUCTION OF A MODEL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF CONTINGENCY TABLES, DETERMINATION OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE ORDERING PRINCIPLE IN STEP-DOWN ANALYSIS FOR THE…

THE PROBLEM OF CLASSIFYING MEMBERS OF A POPULATION ON A CONTINUOUS SCALE--STATISTICAL MODELS FOR THE EVALUATIONS AND INTERPRETATION OF EDUCATIONAL CRITERIA, PART 1.
BARNETT, F.C.; SAW, J.G. – 1964
A WORKING MODEL CAPABLE OF RANKING INDIVIDUALS IN A RANDOM SAMPLE FROM A MULTIVARIATE POPULATION BY SOME CRITERION OF INTEREST WAS DEVELOPED. THE MULTIPLE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT OF RANKS WITH MEASURED VARIATES AS A STATISTIC IN TESTING WHETHER RANKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MEASUREMENTS WAS EMPLOYED AND DUBBED "QUASI-RANK MULTIPLE CORRELATION…

Facet Theory and Non-Metric Methods. The Quantification of the Qualitative.
Jordan, John E. – 1976
Guttman's facet theory is described as a method for quantifying information concerning attitudes. It is stated that attitude items are not negatively correlated for usual populations. An attitude is defined as a delimited totality of behavior with respect to something and its components are elements of a set. The first step in facet research…
