Direct linkPhillips, Gary W. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2015
This article proposes that sampling design effects have potentially huge unrecognized impacts on the results reported by large-scale district and state assessments in the United States. When design effects are unrecognized and unaccounted for they lead to underestimating the sampling error in item and test statistics. Underestimating the sampling…

Peer reviewedSegall, Daniel O. – Psychometrika, 1994
An asymptotic expression for the reliability of a linearly equated test is developed using normal theory. Reliability is expressed as the product of test reliability before equating and an adjustment term that is a function of the sample sizes used to estimate the linear equating transformation. The approach is illustrated. (SLD)
