Approximate Measurement Invariance in Cross-classified Rater-mediated Assessments [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 An important assumption underlying meaningful comparisons of scores in rater-mediated assessments is that measurement is commensurate across raters. When raters differentially apply the standards established by an instrument, scores from different raters
