Thayer, Jerome D. – 1986
The stepwise regression method of selecting predictors for computer assisted multiple regression analysis was compared with forward, backward, and best subsets regression, using 16 data sets. The results indicated the stepwise method was preferred because of its practical nature, when the models chosen by different selection methods were similar…

Jarjoura, David; Kolen, Michael J. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1985
An equating design in which two groups of examinees from slightly different populations are administered a different test form with a subset of common items is widely used. This paper presents standard errors and a simulation that verifies the equation for large samples for an equipercentile equating procedure for this design. (Author/BS)

Keselman, Joanne C.; And Others – 1993
Meta-analytic methods were used to summarize results of Monte Carlo (MC) studies investigating the robustness of various statistical procedures for testing within-subjects effects in split-plot repeated measures designs. Through a literature review, accessible MC studies were identified, and characteristics (simulation factors) and outcomes (rates…
