Peer reviewedKleinke, David J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
Lord's, Millman's and Saupe's methods of approximating the standard error of measurement are reviewed. Through an empirical demonstration involving 200 university classroom tests, all three approximations are shown to be biased. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedMellenbergh, Gideon J.; van der Linden, Wim J. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
For six tests, coefficient delta as an index for internal optimality is computed. Internal optimality is defined as the magnitude of risk of the decision procedure with respect to the true score. Results are compared with an alternative index (coefficient kappa) for assessing the consistency of decisions. (Author/JKS)
