Sequential Reliability Tests.

Peer reviewed

Eiting, Mindert H. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1991

A method is proposed for sequential evaluation of reliability of psychometric instruments. Sample size is unfixed; a test statistic is computed after each person is sampled and a decision is made in each stage of the sampling process. Results from a series of Monte-Carlo experiments establish the method's efficiency. (SLD)

Constructing a Covariance Matrix that Yields a Specified Minimizer and a Specified Minimum Discrepancy Function Value.

Peer reviewed

Cudeck, Robert; Browne, Michael W. – Psychometrika, 1992

A method is proposed for constructing a population covariance matrix as the sum of a particular model plus a nonstochastic residual matrix, with the stipulation that the model holds with a prespecified lack of fit. The procedure is considered promising for Monte Carlo studies. (SLD)
