Estimating the Imputed Social Cost of Errors of Measurement.

Lord, Frederic M.

Psychometrika, v50 n1 p57-68 Mar 1985

Given a loss function, an asymptotic method for optimal test design for a specified target population of examinees is presented. Also, of more practical use, given an existing unidimensional test and target population, a way is presented to find the loss function for which the test is optimal. (NSF)
