Trierweiler, Tammy J.; Lewis, Charles; Smith, Robert L. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2016
In this study, we describe what factors influence the observed score correlation between an (external) anchor test and a total test. We show that the anchor to full-test observed score correlation is based on two components: the true score correlation between the anchor and total test, and the reliability of the anchor test. Findings using an…

This study used Kane's argument-based…
