Peer reviewedBang, Jung W.; Schumacker, Randall E.; Schlieve, Paul L. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1998
The normality of number distributions generated by various random-number generators were studied, focusing on when the random-number generator reached a normal distribution and at what sample size. Findings suggest the steps that should be followed when using a random-number generator in a Monte Carlo simulation. (SLD)

Peer reviewedChapman, David W.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This study investigated the validity of Hayes's formula for converting rank-ordered Rokeach Values data to a normal distribution theoretically achieved through the use of rated data. Findings support the validity of Hayes's formula and expand the analytic possibilities of data collected on the Rokeach instrument. (Author/PN)
