Aronson, J. Richard; Hilley, John L. – 1981
To test whether equity in educational expenditure can include equity for taxpayers, the authors analyze two suggested methods for achieving educational equity. The two methods are district power equalizing (DPE), which grants state aid in inverse proportion to school district wealth, and the wealth neutral system (WNS), which takes account of…

West, Leo H. T.; Theobald, John H. – 1981
This paper describes an analytical solution to a common problem in aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI). The researcher is often interested in the comparison between treatments for a large set of attributes. If this set is large, the chance of non-orthogonality is correspondingly large. In these circumstances the analysis and interpretation…

Rouse, William B.; Rouse, Sandra H. – 1978
This case study describes the application of an analytical library network model to data collected during April 1977. Models are developed for describing the intralibrary processing activities encountered at each of the resource libraries in the study, and alternative routing policies for referring requests among resource libraries are analyzed. A…

Forster, Fred; And Others – 1978
Research on the Rasch model of test and item analysis was applied to tests constructed from item banks for reading and mathematics with respect to five practical problems for scaling items and equating test forms. The questions were: (1) Does the Rasch model yield the same scale value regardless of the student sample? (2) How many students are…

This paper provides a progress report on an investigation to validate and extend the autocatalytic model for the adoption of educational innovations. Three topics are dealt with: (1) a brief description is provided of the autocatalytic model and its current application, (2) the design of a survey to collect data for further tests of the model is…

Faggen, Jane – 1978
Formulas are presented for decision reliability and for classification validity for mastery/nonmastery decisions based on criterion referenced tests. Two item parameters are used: the probability of a master answering an item correctly, and the probability of a nonmaster answering an item incorrectly. The theory explores the relationships of…

Kar, B. Gautam; White, Lee J. – 1975
The feasibility of using a distance measure, called the Bayesian distance, for automatic sequential document classification was studied. Results indicate that, by observing the variation of this distance measure as keywords are extracted sequentially from a document, the occurrence of noisy keywords may be detected. This property of the distance…

CREAGER, JOHN A. – 1967
A THEORETICAL SCHEME WAS DISCUSSED FOR MATCHING STUDENTS TO COLLEGES THROUGH THE USE OF A DIRECTORY WHICH COULD CONTAIN PROFILES OF STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS AND OF COLLEGE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS. EACH PROFILE WOULD CARRY A DESIGNATED INDEX NUMBER FACTORED FROM THE INPUT OF GIVEN CHARACTERISTIC VARIABLES. WHEN USED BY THE STUDENT AND HIS…

The setting of standards involves subjective value judgments. The inherent arbitrariness of specific standards has been severely criticized by Glass. His antagonists agree that standard setting is a judgmental task but they have pointed out that arbitrariness in the positive sense of serious judgmental decisions is unavoidable. Further, small…

McKinley, Robert L.; Reckase, Mark D. – 1980
A study was conducted to compare the quality of the item parameter estimates obtained from the ANCILLES and LOGIST estimation procedures using goodness of fit as a criterion. Statistics used to compare the fit included a chi-square statistic and a mean square deviation statistic. Other analyses performed included comparisons of the distributions…

The Reliability, Maintainability, and Cost Model (RMCM) described in this report is an interactive mathematical model with a built-in sensitivity analysis capability. It is a major component of the Life Cycle Cost Impact Model (LCCIM), which was developed as part of the DAIS advanced development program to be used to assess the potential impacts…

Nesselroade, John R.; Baltes, Paul B. – 1977
This manual is intended to improve both the design of longitudinal studies and analysis of the resulting data. Issues related to educational and developmental research have been emphasized in these eight chapters. Topics of particular interest to longitudinal researchers include stochastic models of developmental change, mathematical…

The Departmental Enrollment Projection Model (DEPM), which is based on the assumption that enrollments are essentially influenced by economic and social forces, is described. Under the model's approach, the department, rather than the institution as a whole, is seen as the focal point of both the enrollment projection and, by implication, the…

Eleven research reports in the area of models of learning mathematics are presented in this publication of the Mathematics Education Reports series. The papers represent a mixture of theories, viewpoints, and references to other areas. Content areas addressed range from preschool to college levels. All the papers are concerned with the learning of…

This study concerns the feasibility of a Markov chain model for projecting housing values and racial mixes. Such projections could be used in planning the layout of school districts to achieve desired levels of socioeconomic heterogeneity. Based upon the concepts and assumptions underlying a Markov chain model, it is concluded that such a model is…
