چکیده
The R package equate (Albano, 2010) contains functions for non-IRT equating under random groups and nonequivalent groups designs. This package vignette introduces these designs and provides an overview of statistical equating with details about each of the supported equating methods. Examples demonstrate the basic functionality of the package.

متن کاملPremorbid IQ estimates from a multiple aptitude test battery: regression vs. equating.
Estimation of premorbid abilities remains an integral part of neuropsychological evaluations. Several methods of indirect estimation have been suggested in the literature. Many of these methods are based in prediction via linear regression. Unfortunately, linear regression has the well-reported tendency to underpredict high IQ scores and overpredict low IQ scores. This can be shown to be an una...
