Test equating sleep scales: applying the Leunbach’s model [PDF]
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019 Background In most cases, the total scores from different instruments assessing the same construct are not directly comparable, but must be equated. In this study we aimed to illustrate a novel test equating methodology applied to sleep functions, a ...
