Peer reviewedBirenbaum, Menucha; Fatsuoka, Kikumi K. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
The outcomes of two scoring methods (one based on an error analysis and the second on a conventional method) on free-response tests, compared in terms of reliability and dimensionality, indicates the conventional method is inferior in both aspects. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedLane, Irving M.; And Others – Group and Organization Studies, 1981
Presents both logical and empirical evidence to illustrate that the conventional scoring algorithm for ranking tasks significantly underestimates the initial level of group ability and that Slevin's alternative scoring algorithm significantly overestimates the initial level of ability. Presents a modification of Slevin's algorithm which authors…
