Schoon, Craig G.; And Others

Evaluation and the Health Professions, v2 n2 p181-201 Jun 1979

The Bayesian approach to setting passing points on credentialing examinations in the health fields is considered in the context of the Normal model, and examples are given to demonstrate the procedure. An application to a credentialing examination, to determine a rational passing point, is presented. (Author/MH)
