The Comparability of the Statistical Characteristics of Test Items Generated by Computer Algorithms.
Download full textMeisner, Richard; And Others – 1993
This paper presents a study on the generation of mathematics test items using algorithmic methods. The history of this approach is briefly reviewed and is followed by a survey of the research to date on the statistical parallelism of algorithmically generated mathematics items. Results are presented for 8 parallel test forms generated using 16…

Peer reviewedAl-Kharashi, Ibrahim A.; Evens, Martha W. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Describes experiments in Arabic information retrieval using 29 queries against a base of 355 bibliographic records. Using roots and stems as index terms worked better than words, and the root performed as well as or better than the stem at low recall levels and definitely better at high recall levels. (Contains 30 references.) (KRN)
