Defining Score Scales in Relation to Measurement Error.
Kolen, Michael J.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v25 n2 p97-110 Sum 1988
Linear and nonlinear methods for incorporating score precision information when the score scale is established for educational tests are compared. Examples illustrate the methods, which discourage overinterpretation of small score differences and enhance score interpretability by equalizing error variance along the score scale. Measurement error and rounding are considered. (SLD)
