Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 1998
This paper investigates two hypotheses of the screening phases of two-staged multiattribute choice procedures: the editing phase in which dominated choice alternatives are eliminated and the compatibility test of image theory. As the importance weights and rejection thresholds of the compatibility test are recalcitrant to elicitation, we develop a new ...

A test of evolutionary theories of senescence
Nature, 1980Senescence is the post-maturation decline in survivorship and fecundity that accompanies advancing age. Two main evolutionary theories have been proposed to account for senescence. (1) The mutation-accumulation theory. Deleterious mutations exerting their effects only late in life would tend to accumulate, because of their minimal effects ...

Theory-testing with cases [PDF]
, 2009 Theory-testing with cases is ascertaining whether the empirical evidence in a case or in a sample of cases either supports or does not support the theory. There are two methodologies for theory-testing with cases, (a) testing in a single case (‘theory-testing single case study’), and (b) testing in a sample of cases (‘theory-testing sample case study’).

On the Theory of Test Discrimination
Psychometrika, 1949This paper discusses the properties of distributions of test scores and advances the view that the properties of the distribution should depend on the function which the test is intended to perform. A theory of test discrimination is developed which defines discriminatory capacity in terms of the number of relations of difference established by the ...

Theory and tests of the counterpoise
Electrical Engineering, 1934Different theories have been advanced as to the behavior of the counterpoise in the protection of power transmission lines against lightning. In an attempt to learn more about the counterpoise and to check the theories of its behavior, a series of basic field tests was conducted.

Medical Care, 2006
Classical test theory (CTT) comprises a set of concepts and methods that provide a basis for many of the measurement tools currently used in health research. The assumptions and concepts underlying CTT are discussed. These include item and scale characteristics that derive from CTT as well as types of reliability and validity.

Theory of Program Testing-An Overview
Bell System Technical Journal, 1983Summary: In this paper, we provide a detailed survey of the various approaches to program testing that have been proposed in recent years. Particular attention is given to a discussion of the developing theory of program testing and to the decomposition of the testing problem into the program graph construction, test path selection, and test case ...

THEORY-CONSTRUCTION AND THEORY-TESTING
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1958I wish to defend 'the dictionary view' of scientific theories against Miss Hesse's attack and to argue that she has insufficiently considered her assertion that phenomenal statements do not 'constitute a basic empirical language which is independent of all theory'.

Various information structure (IS) distinctions have been proposed in the literature to account for differences in word order in languages both modern and historic. We use the schemes adopted by several ongoing IS annotation projects and examine their effect on object position (pre-/post-verbal) in Old English.
