Klitgaard, Robert E.; And Others – 1978
Studies were conducted to determine whether measures of intellectual merit that are used as criteria for admission to the University of Karachi in Pakistan have predictive validity. The predictive validity of the intermediate examination score was studied with recent graduates of the pharmacy, medicine, and engineering schools. Additional studies…

Boldt, Robert F. – 1975
Least squares and Bayes methods were used in a cross validation study conducted for comparison purposes. The study applies to situations with the following conditions: predictor data are given on the same scales; criterion data may be given on different scales; and it is necessary to pool data even though criterion scale differences exist. Such a…

Ellett, Chad D.; And Others – 1980
This study investigated the predictive validity of the Teacher Performance Assessment Instruments (TPAI) using pupil gains on teacher-made tests (TMT) as a criterion. The TPAI and the TMT's were administered to 56 elementary and secondary classrooms in Georgia. Results supported the validity of the TPAI with a large number of correlations ranging…

Houston, Charles A. – 1980
A four-part study was undertaken at Virginia Western Community College to determine the effectiveness of using the Cooperative English Expression Tests (CEET) and/or high school English grades to place students in English 111 (Eng 111) or Developmental English 01 (Dev Eng 01). During Winter 1976, all students (N=110) enrolled in Dev Eng 01 were…

Smith, Philip L. – 1980
Accurate estimation of variance components used in generalizability theory is essential for the theory to be viewed as an efficacious mechanism for studying the reliability and validity of a measurement procedure. This paper explores two alternatives for dealing with the apparent instability of small sample size used in determining the accuracy of…

Harder, David W.; And Others – 1979
The role played by stress in the prognosis of schizophrenia is not entirely clear. It has been suggested that high premorbid stress levels before first-time psychiatric admission for schizophrenia will be related to better outcome. Subjects, first-time psychiatric admissions classified as schizophrenic by either Schneider's First Rank Symptoms,…

Wilson, Kenneth M. – 1974
This paper presents evidence bearing on the predictive validity of the College Board (CEEB) Achievement Average--defined as the arithmetic mean of all Achievement Test scores included on a candidate's CEEB Admissions Testing Program score report and now routinely reported to colleges--for women students in several liberal arts colleges. The…

Thomas, Patricia J. – 1975
The Navy's selection tests are not as valid for minority personnel as they are for the majority group, the utility of alternative test composites was investigated. The samples were drawn from all students attending a Class "A" school, the first school a recruit goes to in order to learn a technical skill, during 1971-1972. Comparisons…

Shields, W. S. – 1974
A procedure for predicting categorical outcomes using categorical predictor variables was described by Moonan. This paper describes a related technique which uses prior probabilities, updated by joint likelihoods, as classification criteria. The procedure differs from Moonan's in that the outcome having the greatest posterior probability is…

Some Predictive Antecedents of Specific Reading Disability: A Two-, Three-, and Four-year Follow-up.
Satz, Paul; And Others – 1974
The purposes of this research project are (1) to test a theory which purports to identify the predictive antecedents (i.e., precursors) of developmental dyslexia (specific reading disability) several years before the disorder is clinically evident, and (2) to evaluate the mechanism which is postulated to underlie and influence later developmental…
