Congeneric and ( Essentially ) Tau - Equivalent Estimates of Score Reliability
Anumber of studies have shown that ignorance regarding fundam ment issues has reached an endemic level (Vacha-Haase, Kogan 2000; Whittington, 1998). Although many doctoral programs include tistics and research design, measurement issues are often ignored in psychology programs. As a result, issues such as reliability are ofte (Aiken, West, Sechrest, & Reno, 1990; Pedhazur & Schmelkin, 1 some pr...
متن کاملEqual percent bias reduction and variance proportionate modifying properties with mean–covariance preserving matching
Mean-preserving and covariance preservingmatchings are introduced that can be obtained with conditional, randomized matching on sub-populations of a large control group. Under moment conditions it is shown that these matchings are, respectively, equal percent bias reducing (EPBR) and variance proportionatemodifying (PM) for linear functions of the covariates and their standardizations. The resu...
متن کاملModelling proportionate growth
An important question in biology is how the relative size of different organs is kept nearly constant during growth of an animal. This property, called proportionate growth, has received increased attention in recent years. We discuss our recent work on a simple model where this feature comes out quite naturally from local rules, without fine tuning any parameter. The patterns produced are comp...
متن کاملEvolution of Genetic Variance-Covariance Structure
One of the features of organisms that makes the study of biology so compelling is their apparent complexity. Molecular, cellular, developmental, physiological, neurological, and behavioral systems are each fascinating in and of themselves, but it is their interaction that generates what we see as the organism as a whole. By necessity, biologists have a tendency to break down organisms into thei...
متن کاملA covariance structure analysis of flicker sensitivity
We tested whether linear structural models of the mechanisms underlying flicker sensitivity could reproduce the variance-covariance matrix of temporal contrast sensitivity data. Monocular sensitivities to frequencies between 2.5 and 45 Hz were measured for 124 subjects, ages 18-88 yr. Exploratory factor analyses revealed that both a two-mechanism and a three-mechanism model could adequately acc...
