Restriction in range is a measurement problem frequently encountered in research studies that utilize correlation coefficients. A FORTRAN program is described that can compute the estimated unrestricted correlation coefficient in either the explicit or implicit case. The user selects the appropriate formula to be employed from five that are…

A general analysis strategy is proposed such that the universe of inference is increased incrementally. The strategy prevents logically incongruent findings that occasionally result when the conventional analysis strategy is employed. (Author)

An alternative analysis of the two-group single response variable design is proposed. It involves the classification of experimental units to populations represented by the two groups. Three real data sets are provided to illustrate the utility of the classification analysis. A table of sample sizes required for the analysis is presented.…

Suggests two complementary frameworks for providing validity evidence for rating data. One conceptualizes raters as data collection instruments that should be subject to traditional procedures for establishing validity evidence; the other evaluates studies using raters from an experimental design perspective allowing the assessment of the study's…
