Mayer, John D. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
Kelly's formula estimates sampling variance of correlation corrected for attenuation by using split-half reliabilities. In some cases, coefficient alpha estimate of reliability is preferable. A simulation study suggests a variation of Kelly's formula can be used appropriately with coefficient alpha. Kelly's formula is modified to accept…

Gilmer, Jerry S.; Feldt, Leonard S. – 1982
The Feldt-Gilmer congeneric reliability coefficients make it possible to estimate the reliability of a test composed of parts of unequal, unknown length. The approximate standard errors of the Feldt-Gilmer coefficients are derived via a method using the multivariate Taylor's expansion. Monte Carlo simulation is employed to corroborate the…

Cliff, Norman; And Others – 1977
TAILOR is a computer program that uses the implied orders concept as the basis for computerized adaptive testing. The basic characteristics of TAILOR, which does not involve pretesting, are reviewed here and two studies of it are reported. One is a Monte Carlo simulation based on the four-parameter Birnbaum model and the other uses a matrix of…
