This paper deals with the situation where scores on a number of parallel tests are obtained for each of a set of persons, and these persons are assumed to constitute, in so far as their scores for the tests are concerned, a random sample from some population of interest. (Author)

Bayesian methods for estimating dose response curves in quantal bioassay are studied. A linearized multi-stage model is assumed for the shape of the curves. A Gibbs sampling approach with data augmentation is employed to compute the Bayes estimates. In addition, estimation of the "relative additional risk" and the "risk specific…

This paper develops theory and methods for the application of the Bayesian Model II method to the estimation of binomial proportions and demonstrates its application to educational data. (Author/RK)

Four bootstrap methods are identified for constructing confidence intervals for the binomial-error model. The extent to which similar results are obtained and the theoretical foundation of each method and its relevance and ranges of modeling the true score uncertainty are discussed. (SLD)
