An Examination of the Assumption that the Equating of Parallel Forms is Population-Independent.
Angoff, William H.; Cowell, William R.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v23 n4 p327-45 Win 1986
Linear conversions were developed relating scores on recent forms of the Graduate Record Examinations. Conversions based on specially selected subpopulations were compared with total-group conversions and evaluated. Conclusions indicated that the data clearly support the assumption of population independence for homogenoeous tests, but not quite as clearly for heterogeneous tests. (Author/JAZ)
