Peer reviewedHarmon, Glynn – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Views information as residual or catalytic form of energy which regulates other forms of energy in natural and artificial systems. Parallel human information processing (production systems, algorithms, heuristics) and information measurement are discussed. Suggestions for future research in area of parallel information processing include a matrix…

Peer reviewedWolfe, Edward W.; Chiu, Chris W. T. – Journal of Outcome Measurement, 1999
Describes a Rasch rating scale analysis of a multi-occasion evaluation that produces confusing results when subjected to separate calibrations. Applies a correction algorithm developed by B. Wright (1996) to show how the Wright algorithm can reduce misfit to the Rasch rating scale model as well as changing the interpretation of change. (SLD)

Morris, John D. – 1986
An empirical method called Predicted Error Sum of Squares (PRESS) is advanced and studied. This method is used to examine the cross-validated prediction accuracies of some popular algorithms for weighted predictor variables. The weighting methods that were considered were ordinary least squares, ridge regression, regression on principal…
