A Critical View on the NEAT Equating Design: Statistical Modeling and Identifiability Problems
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2022The nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design is widely used in test equating. Under this design, two groups of examinees are administered different test forms with each test form containing a subset of common items. Because test takers from different groups are assigned only one test form, missing score data emerge by design rendering some ...

Generalized Equating Functions for NEAT Designs
2009The purpose of this chapter is to introduce generalized equating functions for the equating of test scores through an anchor. Depending on the choice of parameter values, the generalized equating function can perform either linear equating or equipercentile equating, either by poststratification on the anchor or by chained linking through the anchor.

NEAT Particles: Design, Representation, and Animation of Particle System Effects
2007 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games, 2007Particle systems are a representation, computation, and rendering method for special effects such as fire, smoke, explosions, electricity, water, magic, and many other phenomena. This paper presents NEAT particles, a new design, representation, and animation method for particle systems tailored to real-time effects in video games and simulations.

EQUATING OF SUBSCORES AND WEIGHTED AVERAGES UNDER THE NEAT DESIGN
ETS Research Report Series, 2011ABSTRACTRecently, the literature has seen increasing interest in subscores for their potential diagnostic values; for example, one study suggested the report of weighted averages of a subscore and the total score, whereas others showed, for various operational and simulated data sets, that weighted averages, as compared to subscores, lead to more ...

ChemPlusChem, 2022
AbstractThis work reports the design and synthesis of a series of 5‐membered and 6‐membered N‐hydroxyimides flanked by lipophilic alkyl groups adjacent to carbonyl groups, aiming to endow lipophilicity and tolerance toward ring opening degradation. Their solubility in cyclohexane was 5–20 times higher than those of unsubstituted N‐hydroxyphthalimide ...

Complex-Panel Weld Shrinkage Data Model for Neat Construction Ship Design Engineering
Day 2 Thu, October 25, 2012, 2012Weld shrinkage data models were developed for thin uniform and complex ship-panels to predict in-plane shrinkage. The complex features in the thin panels include cutouts, inserts, multiple thicknesses, and non-rectangular shaped panels. By analyzing the measured data, it was found that there was no clear indication that a cutout affected the overall ...

An Evaluation of Five Linear Equating Methods for the NEAT Design
Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research & Perspective, 2009This study uses the results of two previous papers (Kane, Mroch, Suh, & Ripkey, this issue; Suh, Mroch, Kane, & Ripkey, this issue) and the literature on linear equating to evaluate five linear equating methods along several dimensions, including the plausibility of their assumptions and their levels of bias and root mean squared difference (RMSD). The

Uniform-Panel Weld Shrinkage Data Model for Neat Construction Ship Design Engineering
Journal of Ship Production and Design, 2013A weld shrinkage prediction model was developed for thin uniform ship panels to predict in-plane shrinkage. The weld shrinkage prediction model consists of a series of empirical equations developed by analysis of shrinkage data from welded panels fabricated in the shipyards.

An Empirical Comparison of Five Linear Equating Methods for the NEAT Design
Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research & Perspective, 2009In this study, a data base containing the responses of 40,000 candidates to 90 multiple-choice questions was used to mimic data sets for 50-item tests under the nonequivalent groups with anchor test (NEAT) design. Using these smaller data sets, we evaluated the performance of five linear equating methods for the NEAT design with five levels of group ...
