Yeaton, William H.; Wortman, Paul M. – Evaluation Review, 1993
Current practices of reporting a single mean intercoder agreement in meta-analysis leads to systematic bias and overestimates reliability. An alternative is recommended in which average intercoder agreement statistics are calculated within clusters of coded variables. Two studies of intercoder agreement illustrate the model. (SLD)

Bockenholt, Ulf – Psychometrika, 1993
A flexible class of stochastic mixture models is introduced and illustrated for analysis and interpretation of individual differences in recurrent choice and other types of count data. These models are derived by specifying elements of the choice process at the individual level. An easy-to-implement algorithm is presented for parameter estimation.…

Holmes, Richard A.; And Others – Evaluation Review, 1990
In this analysis of 1,815 arbitration cases in British Columbia in 1982-85, bias is identified in the bivariate estimates of the probability of management wins by industry and issue. Bivariate estimate errors in these cases can result from failure of estimates to adjust for the effects of omitted variables. (TJH)

Sanders, Piet F. – 1993
A study on sampling errors of variance components was conducted within the framework of generalizability theory by P. L. Smith (1978). The study used an intuitive approach for solving the problem of how to allocate the number of conditions to different facets in order to produce the most stable estimate of the universe score variance. Optimization…

DeSarbo, Wayne S.; And Others – Psychometrika, 1996
A stochastic multidimensional unfolding (MDU) procedure is presented to represent individual differences in phased or sequential decision processes spatially. A Monte Carlo analysis demonstrates estimation proficiency and the appropriateness of the proposed model selection heuristic, and an application to capture awareness, consideration, and…

Martell, Richard F.; And Others – 1992
Relying on estimates of variance explained to assess the practical significance of research findings is now common practice. It is suggested that such estimates can offer an inaccurate picture, often underestimating the practical significance of statistically small effects. As an example, research on employment discrimination indicates that in…
