A Maximum Likelihood Approach to the "Test of Inclusion."

Owston, Ronald D.

Psychometrika, v44 n4 p421-25 Dec 1979

The method of scoring is used to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters in White and Clark's (EJ 075 122) learning hierarchy validation model. From the proportion of the population possessing only the superordinate skill in a pair of hierarchical skills, and its variance, the hypothesis of inclusion is tested. (Author/CTM)
