Peer reviewedCumming, Geoff; Finch, Sue – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Discusses four reasons for promoting the use of confidence intervals: (1) ease of interpretation; (2) links with familiar statistical tests; (3) promotion of meta-analytic thinking; and (4) increase of information about precision. Discusses calculations of confidence intervals for a basic standardized effect size measure and discusses software for…

Illustrates the computation of confidence intervals for effect sizes for some analysis of variance applications and shows how the use of intervals involving noncentral distributions is made practical by new software. (SLD)

Peer reviewedFerrando, Pere J.; Lorenzo-Seva, Urbano – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Describes a Windows program for checking the suitability of unidimensional logistic item response models for binary and ordered polytomous responses with respect to a given set of data. The program is based on predicting the observed test score distributions from the item characteristic curves. (SLD)

Peer reviewedFan, Xitao; Thompson, Bruce – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2001
Illustrates a number of ways in which confidence intervals for reliability coefficients can be estimated. Suggests that authors who submit articles to "Educational and Psychological Measurement" report confidence intervals for reliability estimates whenever they report score reliabilities and that they note the interval estimation…
