Judgment Analysis vs. Paired Comparison as a Statistical Procedure for Capturing Policy Models in Readability Prediction.

Houston, Samuel R.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Education, v56 n1 p24-27 Fall 1987

Judgment analysis (JAN) and JAN-paired comparison (JAN-PC) were compared as a statistical policy-capturing strategy. The readability of 15 selected passages used in grades 1-6 was evaluated. More consistent results for each judge (five Arabic teachers of reading) and fewer policies were obtained with JAN-PC than with JAN. (TJH)
