Population Cross-Validity Estimation and Adjustment for Direct Range Restriction: A Monte Carlo Investigation of Procedural Sequences to Achieve Optimal Cross-Validity
The current study employs Monte Carlo analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of various statistical procedures for determining specific values of interest within a population of 1,000,000 cases. Specifically, the proper procedures for addressing the opposing effects of direct range restriction and …
