Maltz, Michael D.; McCleary, Richard – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
The authors respond to Miley's critique (TM 503 900) of their article on predicting parolee recidivism (TM 502 998). They are pleased that he discovered some computational errors, that he used their method to analyze other data, and that he developed hypotheses concerning the behavior of the parameters.

Perkins, Dennis N. T. – Evaluation Quarterly, 1977
Based on a theoretical model of program development, this taxonomy of evaluation relates six evaluation objectives or purposes to nine methodological alternatives. Use of the taxonomy may increase the efficiency of evaluation, improve communication, and assist in the choice of a methodology that is appropriate to the evaluation purposes.…

Miley, Alan D. – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
The split-population exponential design suggested by Maltz and McCleary to predict parolee recidivism (TM 502 998) was applied to discharged psychiatric inpatients. Parameter estimates changed systematically as greater and greater observation time was allowed in the computation, thus limiting extrapolability. (Author/GDC)

Johnson, Mark S.; And Others – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
The effectiveness of engineering and policy interventions in reducing bicycle accidents on the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara was investigated. None of the bikeway modifications were found to have been effective in reducing bicycle accidents. (Author/GDC)

St. Pierre, Robert G. – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
Data from the national evaluation of Project Follow Through were analyzed using analysis of covariance with and without correcting the pretest for unreliability. Such corrections led to some changes in conclusions. There are many disagreements in the literature about the appropriateness of correction for unreliability. (Author/CTM)

Cook, Thomas D.; Gruder, Charles L. – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
Four projects aimed at evaluating the technical quality of recent summative evaluations are discussed, and models of metaevaluation are presented. Common technical problems are identified and practical methods for solving these problems are outlined, but these methods are limited by the current state of the art. (Author/CTM)

Flaherty, Eugenie Walsh; And Others – Evaluation Quarterly, 1978
Existing records maintained by an early prevention project for high-risk children were used to evaluate the development of interagency coordination. The process required by use of existing records is described, and the advantages and disadvantages of this method are discussed. (Author/CTM)
