Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lecoutre, Bruno; Lecoutre, Marie-Paule; Poitevineau, Jacques – Psychological Methods, 2010
P. R. Killeen's (2005a) probability of replication ("p[subscript rep]") of an experimental result is the fiducial Bayesian predictive probability of finding a same-sign effect in a replication of an experiment. "p[subscript rep]" is now routinely reported in "Psychological Science" and has also begun to appear in…

Iverson, Geoffrey J.; Wagenmakers, Eric-Jan; Lee, Michael D. – Psychological Methods, 2010
The purpose of the recently proposed "p[subscript rep]" statistic is to estimate the probability of concurrence, that is, the probability that a replicate experiment yields an effect of the same sign (Killeen, 2005a). The influential journal "Psychological Science" endorses "p[subscript rep]" and recommends its use…

The Validity of Using Holistic Scoring to Evaluate Writing: A Critical Overview.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Charney, Davida – Research in the Teaching of English, 1984
Analyzes the implicit requirements for achieving reliable results from holistic ratings of writing samples and argues that these conditions bring the validity of the ratings into doubt. (HOD)

When Is a Picture Worth a Thousand p Values? A Comparison of Visual and Quantitative Methods to Analyze Single Subject Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ottenbacher, Kenneth J. – Journal of Special Education, 1990
The agreement between visual analysis and the results of the split-middle method of trend estimation was examined using a set of 24 stimulus graphs and 30 raters. Results revealed poor agreement between the two methods, and low sensitivity, specificity, and predictive ability for visual analysis in relation to statistical inferences. (JDD)

McMorris, Robert F. – 1971
The extent of error likely to occur with each of several approximations for the standard deviation, internal consistency reliability, and the standard error of measurement is analyzed. Approximations were compared with exact statistics obtained on 85 different classroom tests constructed and administered by professors in a variety of fields. Means…

Federal Research Impact Assessment: State-of-the-Art.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kostoff, Ronald N. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Describes the practice of federal evaluation of research impact through three approaches: retrospective methods; qualitative methods, including peer review; and quantitative methods. Recommended areas for study in federal research impact assessment are suggested, including predictive reliability, comparative studies, time and cost estimates,…
