Keller, Bryan – Psychometrika, 2012
Randomization tests are often recommended when parametric assumptions may be violated because they require no distributional or random sampling assumptions in order to be valid. In addition to being exact, a randomization test may also be more powerful than its parametric counterpart. This was demonstrated in a simulation study which examined the…

Brown, Morton B. – Psychometrika, 1975
Estimates of conditional uncertainty, contingent uncertainty, and normed modifications of contingent uncertainity have been proposed for the two-way contingency table. The asymptotic standard errors of the estimates are derived. (Author)

Haberman, Shelby J. – Psychometrika, 2006
When a simple random sample of size n is employed to establish a classification rule for prediction of a polytomous variable by an independent variable, the best achievable rate of misclassification is higher than the corresponding best achievable rate if the conditional probability distribution is known for the predicted variable given the…

Flack, Virginia F.; And Others – Psychometrika, 1988
A method is presented for determining sample size that will achieve a pre-specified bound on confidence interval width for the interrater agreement measure "kappa." The same results can be used when a pre-specified power is desired for testing hypotheses about the value of kappa. (Author/SLD)

Swain, A. J. – Psychometrika, 1975
Considers a class of estimation procedures for the factor model. The procedures are shown to yield estimates possessing the same asymptotic sampling properties as those from estimation by maximum likelihood or generalized last squares, both special members of the class. General expressions for the derivatives needed for Newton-Raphson…

Novick, Melvin R.; And Others – Psychometrika, 1973
This paper develops theory and methods for the application of the Bayesian Model II method to the estimation of binomial proportions and demonstrates its application to educational data. (Author/RK)

Rosenbaum, Paul R. – Psychometrika, 1989
Single construct validity is examined, and appropriate statistical tests are described when criterion information is available for: (1) examinees selected at random; (2) examinees selected on the basis of the current test; and (3) examinees selected using other measures of the latent construct. Discriminant validity is also discussed. (SLD)

Tucker, Ledyard R.; Lewis, Charles – Psychometrika, 1973
Maximum likelihood factor analysis provides an effective method for estimation of factor matrices and a useful test statistic in the likelihood ratio for rejection of overly simple factor models. A reliability coefficient is proposed for analysis of factor solution. (Author/RK)
