Freedle's Table 2: Fact or Fiction?
Dorans, Neil J.
Harvard Educational Review, v74 n1 p62-72 Spr 2004
The Editorial Board welcomes comments on articles, reviews, and letters that have appeared in the "Harvard Educational Review." Longer pieces are published in this "Further Comment" section, in full or in part, at the Editors' discretion. Authors of the articles under discussion are invited to respond. In this section, the author responds to Roy O. Freedle's article, "Correcting the SAT's Ethnic and Social-Class Bias: A Method of Reestimating SAT Scores," published in the Spring 2003 issue of this journal. Dorans contends that Freedle's claims were based on errors in calculations and the use of incorrect results from his variant of a statistical procedure developed by Dorans to assess the statistical fairness of test questions. (Contains 7 notes.)
