Differential Predictability in a Selection Model for Graduate Students: Implications for Validity Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Messmer, Donald J.; Solomon, Robert J. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
A method for testing differential predictability in a selection model was illustrated on data from 103 male and 24 female graduate students. Since the models were not homogeneous in the variance, a method for adjusting for heterogeneity was presented. (Author/CTM)

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dagenais, Denyse L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
After a review of the disadvantages of linear models for estimating the probability of academic success from previous school records and admission test results, the use of a probit model is proposed. The model is illustrated with admissions data from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales in Montreal. (Author/BW)
