Magnus, Brooke E.; Liu, Yang – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
Questionnaires inquiring about psychopathology symptoms often produce data with excess zeros or the equivalent (e.g., none, never, and not at all). This type of zero inflation is especially common in nonclinical samples in which many people do not exhibit psychopathology, and if unaccounted for, can result in biased parameter estimates when…

Wetzel, Eunike; Xu, Xueli; von Davier, Matthias – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
In large-scale educational surveys, a latent regression model is used to compensate for the shortage of cognitive information. Conventionally, the covariates in the latent regression model are principal components extracted from background data. This operational method has several important disadvantages, such as the handling of missing data and…

Hauser, Carl; Thum, Yeow Meng; He, Wei; Ma, Lingling – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2015
When conducting item reviews, analysts evaluate an array of statistical and graphical information to assess the fit of a field test (FT) item to an item response theory model. The process can be tedious, particularly when the number of human reviews (HR) to be completed is large. Furthermore, such a process leads to decisions that are susceptible…

Liu, Yan; Zumbo, Bruno D. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2012
There is a lack of research on the effects of outliers on the decisions about the number of factors to retain in an exploratory factor analysis, especially for outliers arising from unintended and unknowingly included subpopulations. The purpose of the present research was to investigate how outliers from an unintended and unknowingly included…

Wilcox, Rand R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Consider the nonparametric regression model Y = m(X)+ [tau](X)[epsilon], where X and [epsilon] are independent random variables, [epsilon] has a median of zero and variance [sigma][squared], [tau] is some unknown function used to model heteroscedasticity, and m(X) is an unknown function reflecting some conditional measure of location associated…

Rae, Gordon – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
Various indices for measuring agreement among several raters on the presence or absence of a trait can be interpreted as intraclass correlation coefficients. Such a reformulation clarifies the relationships among the measures, simplifies the computations involved, and permits simple significance tests to be carried out. An illustrative example is…

Holling, Heinz – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
Recent theoretical analyses of the concept of suppression are identified and discussed. A generalized definition of suppression is presented and the conditions for suppressor structures in the context of the General Linear Model are derived. (Author)

Conger, Anthony J.; Ward, David G. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
Sixteen measures of reliability for two-category nominal scales are compared. Upon correcting for chance agreement, there are only five distinct indices: Fleiss's modification of A-sub-1, the phi coefficient, Cohen's kappa, and two intraclass coefficients. Recommendations for choosing an agreement index are made based on definitions, magnitude,…

Feldt, Leonard S.; Charter, Richard A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Seven approaches to averaging reliability coefficients are presented. Each approach starts with a unique definition of the concept of "average," and no approach is more correct than the others. Six of the approaches are applicable to internal consistency coefficients. The seventh approach is specific to alternate-forms coefficients. Although the…

James, Lawrence R.; Tetrick, Lois E. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
An analytic procedure is presented for testing the homogeneity of unstandardized regression weight vectors when the vectors are correlated. The basic design involves repeated measurements on a dependent variable and a set of independent variables. The method is illustrated with a study of perceived leader behavior. (Author/BW)

Attenweiler, William J.; Moore, DeWayne – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Goal orientation research has developed two branches. One branch uses a two-factor dispositional model. The other branch uses a three-factor domain-specific model. The present multiwave study examines dispositional goal orientation constructs through both two and three-factor models using repeated-measure confirmatory factor analysis. Results…

Shine, II, Lester C.; Stoup, Charles M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
A method requiring minimal computational effort is presented for transforming ordered residuals for purposes of testing the correctness of a regression model. The method maintains the same logical ordering in the transformed residuals as that of the original residuals and is suitable for either correlated or uncorrelated data. (Author/BS)

The relationship between item parameter values obtained from independent Birnbaum (l968) model calibrations of the same item set from two different samples is examined. (Author)

Shine, Lester C., II – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
The interpretation of significant left-tailed analysis of variance (ANOVA) F-ratios is supported by considering the case of a fixed effects ANOVA model. The conclusions of this case are generalizable to other standard ANOVA models. (Author/PN)
