Meta-analysis of coefficient alpha.
The meta-analysis of coefficient alpha across many studies is becoming more common in psychology by a methodology labeled reliability generalization. Existing reliability generalization studies have not used the sampling distribution of coefficient alpha for precision weighting and other common meta-analytic procedures. A framework is provided for a statistically grounded meta-analysis of coeff...
متن کاملA coefficient alpha for test-retest data.
Transient errors are caused by variations in feelings, moods, and mental states over time. If these errors are present, coefficient alpha is an inflated estimate of reliability. A true-score model is presented that incorporates transient errors for test-retest data, and a reliability estimate is derived. This estimate, referred to as the test-retest alpha, is less than coefficient alpha if tran...

متن کاملAre the existing training corpora unnecessarily large?
This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the training treebank data because the size and quality of the data has always been a bottleneck for the purposes of training. In previous studies we realized that current corpora used for training machine learning–based dependency parsers contain a significant proportion of redundant information at the syntactic structure level. Since the developm...
متن کاملAmbiguous Solicitation: Ambiguous Prescription
We conduct a two-phase laboratory experiment, separated by several weeks. In the first phase, we conduct urn games intended to measure ambiguity aversion on a representative population of undergraduate students. In the second phase, we invite the students back with four different solicitation treatments, varying in the ambiguity of information regarding the task and the payout of the laboratory...
