Peer reviewedReise, Steven P.; Flannery, Wm. Peter – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Statistical and theoretical issues that arise from assessing person-fit on measures of typical performance are discussed, including the frequent attenuation of detection of person-misfit, the need for methods of identifying sources of response aberrancy, and person-fit measures as moderators of trait-criterion relations.

Peer reviewedKane, Michael – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
This overview of the role of error and tolerance for error in measurement asserts that the generic precision associated with a measurement procedure is defined as the root mean square error, or standard error, in some relevant population. This view of precision is explored in several applications of measurement. (SLD)

Peer reviewedAckerman, Terry A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1994
When item response data do not satisfy the unidimensionality assumption, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) should be used to model the item-examinee interaction. This article presents and discusses MIRT analyses designed to give better insight into what individual items are measuring. (SLD)

Peer reviewedDunbar, Stephen B.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1991
Issues pertaining to the quality of performance assessments, including reliability and validity, are discussed. The relatively limited generalizability of performance across tasks is indicative of the care needed to evaluate performance assessments. Quality control is an empirical matter when measurement is intended to inform public policy. (SLD)
