Yarnold, Paul R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1988
Classical test theory methods are derived to allow statistical evaluation of all KT(KT - 1)/2 unique, non-trivial difference scores that occur by comparing one or more variables (K) at two or more testings (T) for a single individual (or object of measurement). Future research needs are discussed. (Author)

Soltysik, Robert C.; Yarnold, Paul R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
This article describes the theoretical distribution of optima arising from two-category univariable optimal discriminant analysis (UniODA) of continuous random data for a one-tailed (directional) hypothesis. Directional UniODA is illustrated through an investigation of the relationship between depression and brain monoamine turnover. (SLD)
