Lindley, Dennis V. – 1972
This paper discusses Bayesian m-group regression where the groups are arranged in a two-way layout into m rows and n columns, there still being a regression of y on the x's within each group. The mathematical model is then provided as applied to the case where the rows correspond to high schools and the columns to colleges: the predictor variables…

Jones, Paul K.; Novick, Melvin R. – 1972
A summary of the technical problems encountered in performing Bayesian m group regression is given. Grade-point averages for students entering a vocational-technical program are predicted using ability assessments from the Career Planning Profile (CPP), a development of The American College Testing Program (ACT). The theory derived by Lindley (see…

Weiss, David J. – 1976
Three and one-half years of research on computerized ability testing are summarized. The original objectives of the research were: (1) to develop and implement the stratified computer-based ability test; (2) to compare, on psychometric criteria, the various approaches to computer-based ability testing, including the stratified computerized test,…
