Grochowalski, Joseph H. – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Component Universe Score Profile analysis (CUSP) is introduced in this paper as a psychometric alternative to multivariate profile analysis. The theoretical foundations of CUSP analysis are reviewed, which include multivariate generalizability theory and constrained principal components analysis. Because CUSP is a combination of generalizability…

Taylor, Robin Terrell – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Reliability generalization studies were conducted on the motivation and learning strategies scales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) to typify score reliabilities for all scales on the instrument and to examine potential sources of measurement error across studies which used these scales. Average reliability…

Zhang, Zuoyi – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This thesis consists of two parts. In Chapter 2, we focus on the spatial scan statistics with overdispersion and Chapter 3 is devoted to the randomized permutation test for identifying local patterns of spatial association. The spatial scan statistic has been widely used in spatial disease surveillance and spatial cluster detection. To apply it, a…

Guerere, Claudia – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Scores from value-added models (VAMs), as used for educational accountability, represent the educational effect teachers have on their students. The use of these scores in teacher evaluations for high-stakes decision making is new for the State of Florida. Validity evidence that supports or questions the use of these scores is critically needed.…

Stephens, Christopher Neil – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Augmentation procedures are designed to provide better estimates for a given test or subtest through the use of collateral information. The main purpose of this dissertation was to use Haberman's and Wainer's augmentation procedures on a large-scale, standardized achievement test to understand the relationship between reliability and…

Lengh, Carolyn J. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This study compares the dependability of four classroom assessment scoring methods. Generalizability theory (G) and alternative decision (D) are used to measure the results of students' classroom assessment scores and compare the results of the four scoring methods on variability of rater by person variance and the level of G and D coefficients…

Wilson, Celia M. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Research pertaining to the distortion of the squared canonical correlation coefficient has traditionally been limited to the effects of sampling error and associated correction formulas. The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of attenuation of the squared canonical correlation coefficient under varying conditions of score reliability.…

Brandt, Lorilynn – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Phonics was identified as one of the critical components in reading development by the National Reading Panel. Over time, research has repeatedly identified phonics as important to early reading development. Given the compelling evidence supporting the teaching of phonics in early reading, it is critical to make sure that instructional decisions…
