Psychometric Modeling of Componentially Designed Synonym Tasks.

Peer reviewed

Janssen, Rianne; De Boeck, Paul – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1997

Used the multicomponent latent trait model (MTLM) (S. Embretson, 1980, 1984) for 3 different synonym tasks completed by 212 and 257 Belgian secondary school students. Developed a heuristic evaluation procedure that tested features of the model and provided an explanation for why the MTLM did not fit the data. (SLD)

On the Utility of Content Analysis in Author Attribution: "The Federalist."

Peer reviewed

Martindale, Colin; McKenzie, Dean – Computers and the Humanities, 1995

Compares the success of lexical statistics, content analysis, and function words in determining the true author of "The Federalist." The function word approach proved most successful in attributing the papers to James Madison. Lexical statistics contributed nothing, while content analytic measures resulted in some success. (MJP)
