Factor scoring methods affected by response shift in patient-reported outcomes
… from parameter estimates of LVMs. Factor scoring methods to estimate factor scores include: Thurstone, Bartlett, and sum scores. This simulation study examines the effects of RS on factor scores used to test for change in the LV means and recommend a factor scoring method least affected by …

An Investigation of the Content and Concurrent Validity of the School-wide Evaluation Tool
… whether an alternative approach to weighting and scoring the SET might provide a more accurate assessment of SWPBIS implementation fidelity. Twenty published experts in the field of SWPBIS completed online surveys to obtain ratings of the relative importance of each item on the SET to sustainable …

Alternate Forms Reliability for Written Expression Probes
… production-independent, and accurate-production scoring methods. When all grade levels are combined, alternate forms reliability coefficients are at a sufficiently high level. However, some scoring methods resulted in much higher correlations at younger grade levels than older grade levels. In …
