Marcoulides, George A. – Structural Equation Modeling, 1996
Teachers are advised that analysis of covariance structures can be used to obtain estimates of variance components for use in generalizability analyses. Generalizability theory provides a flexible and practical framework for examining the psychometric properties of testing situations. This article illustrates the approach for fully crossed…
