Woodcock and PIAT Reading Scores: A Lack of Equivalency

Diagnostique, 1983
Using each student as his or her own control, 76 students in grades 2 through 6 from rural to urban localities in upper east Tennessee were administered the Peabody Individual Achievement Test and the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests. Comparisons were made between the PIAT Reading Recognition and Woodcock Word Identification tests and between the PIAT ...

EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN SCORE AND WEIGHTED TESTS FOR SURVIVAL CURVES

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2001
In this paper we describe 10 expressions of score and weighted tests, in such a way that the numerators and the denominators are completely specified, including always the possibility of tied observations. We establish the equivalence between score and weighted tests in the general setting of ties. Based upon this equivalence we enunciate two new tests,

Equivalent standard DEA models to provide super-efficiency scores

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2003
Summary: DEA super-efficiency models were introduced originally with the objective of providing a tie-breaking procedure for ranking units rated as efficient in conventional DEA models. This objective has been expanded to include sensitivity analysis, outlier identification and inter-temporal analysis.

Non-equivalence of WPPSI, WPPSI-R, and WISC-R scores

Current Psychology, 1994
The WPPSI-R, WISC-R, and WPPSI were administered in a counterbalanced design to 72 children, between the ages of 5 years, 11 months and 6 years, 8 months, in order to determine their equivalence by testing the equality of means, variances, and covariances based on scaled scores and IQs.

Congeneric and (Essentially) Tau-Equivalent Estimates of Score Reliability

Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Coefficient alpha, the most commonly used estimate of internal consistency, is often considered a lower bound estimate of reliability, though the extent of its underestimation is not typically known. Many researchers are unaware that coefficient alpha is based on the essentially tau-equivalent measurement model.

The Effect of Anchor Item Characteristics on Equivalent Cutting Scores

Applied Measurement in Education, 1994
In competency-testing programs, score equating is often used to ensure equivalent pass/fail decisions over different forms of the same examination. When a judgmental standard-setting method (e.g., Angoff, 1971) is used to pick the pass/fail point, the designs and statistical techniques of score equating can be applied, with favorable results, to the ...

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-Italian version: regression based norms and equivalent scores

Neurological Sciences, 2014
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief cognitive screening instrument developed by Nasreddine et al. to detect mild cognitive impairment, a high-risk condition for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. In this study we report normative data on the MoCA-Italian version, collected on a sample of 225 Italian healthy subjects ranged

Maintaining Equivalent Cut Scores for Small Sample Test Forms

Journal of Educational Measurement, 2016
This study examines the effectiveness of three approaches for maintaining equivalent performance standards across test forms with small samples: (1) common‐item equating, (2) resetting the standard, and (3) rescaling the standard. Rescaling the standard (i.e., applying common‐item equating methodology to standard setting ratings to account for ...

Raw-score equivalence of computer-assisted and paper versions of WISC–V.

Psychological Services, 2019
The adaptation of individually administered psychological tests from paper to app-based administration formats can present unique threats to the construct and raw-score equivalence of the paper and digital formats. We discuss these potential threats and describe a study evaluating the equivalence of paper and digital versions of the Wechsler ...
