Equating Methods and Sampling Designs.

Peer reviewed

Dorans, Neil J. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1990

The equating methods and sampling designs used in the empirical studies in this special issue on the use of matched samples for test equating are described. Four requisites for equating are listed, and the invariance of equating functions requisite is identified as the focus of this issue. (SLD)
