Utility of Policy Capturing as an Approach to Graduate Admissions Decision Making.

Schmidt, Frank L.; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v2 n3 p347-59 Sum 1978, 78

The present study examined and evaluated the application of linear policy-capturing models to the real-world decision task of graduate admissions. Utility of the policy-capturing models was great enough to be of practical significance, and least-squares weights showed no predictive advantage over equal weights. (Author/CTM)
