On an Application of Statistical Ranking and Selection Tables to the Identification of the Learning Disabled.

Sobel, Milton; Kelemen, Eve

Journal of Educational Statistics, v9 n3 p215-26 Fall 1984

The statistical consequences of giving a student more than one achievement test to diagnose learning disabilities (LD) are discussed. Ranking and selection tables are used to find (1) the proportion of LD students as a function of cut-off point and (2) the cut-off point as a function of the expected proportion of LD students.
