Peer reviewedParshall, Cynthia G.; Houghton, Pansy Du Bose; Kromrey, Jeffrey D. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1995
Sample sizes (n=15, 25, 50, 100) were examined (1,000 times each) with replacement from each of 5 data files from teacher subject test areas to compare statistical bias and standard error. Trivial levels of equating bias were present with small samples, and substantial increases in standard errors were found as the sample size decreased. (MAK)
