Constructing Measures with Maximum Reliability.

Knott, M.; Bartholomew, D. J.

Psychometrika, v58 n2 p331-38 Jun 1993

Scoring of response vectors to give maximum test-retest correlation is investigated. A general method is given for finding the best scores, deriving them for the normal factor model, and showing that for a standard model for binary response it is easy to approximate the best scores. (SLD)
