van der Linden, Wim J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
The restrictions on item difficulties that must be met when binomial models are applied to domain-referenced testing are examined. Both a deterministic and a stochastic conception of item responses are discussed with respect to difficulty and Guttman-type items. (Author/BH)
Descriptors: Difficulty Level, Item Sampling, Latent Trait Theory, Mathematical Models

Braver, Sanford L.; Bay, R. Curtis – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1992
Notes that family researchers can examine extent of self-selection bias in samples by using range of "plausibly correlated characteristics" such as marriage and divorce public records. Provides extensive case example of analyses and discusses compensation techniques of weighting and hazard rate models. (Author/NB)

Haase, Richard F.; Ellis, Michael V. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 1987
Provides an expository presentation of multivariate analysis (MANOVA). Addresses several questions relating to why one should use MANOVA, its structure, how MANOVA test statistics and follow-up tests are obtained and interpreted, presentation of results, and alternatives to MANOVA. Uses an example data set to illustrate these points. (Author/KS)

Blumstein, Alfred; Cohen, Jacqueline – Evaluation Quarterly, 1979
Evaluations involving nonrandom assignment to treatment or control groups are vulnerable to an accidental or intentional confounding of a selection effect with the treatment effect. Two techniques, discriminant analysis and base expectancy analysis, permit separate estimation of the selection and treatment effects in the final results. (Author/CTM)

Douglass, James B. – 1979
A general process for testing the feasibility of applying alternative mathematical or statistical models to the solution of a practical problem is presented and flowcharted. The system is used to compare five models for test equating: (1) anchor test equating using classical test theory; (2) anchor test equating using the one-parameter logistic…
