Dissecting implicit leadership theories: a generalizability analysis
<p>The present study uses generalizability theory to further explore the sources of variance in implicit leadership theories. Most studies which examine the differences in implicit leadership theories either focus on differences in the raters such as gender, religion, culture, and other individual …

Three Essays on the generalizability of experimental results in economics
Although few economists today dismiss the use of the laboratory experiments, it would be a mistake to think that experimental methodology no longer represents a controversial issue in economics. One of the major criticisms is represented by the external validity of experimental data and concerns …

A Monte Carlo Approach for Exploring the Generalizability of Performance Standards
While each phase of the test development process is crucial to the validity of the examination, one phase tends to stand out among the others: the standard setting process. The standard setting process is a time-consuming and expensive endeavor. While it has received the most attention in the …

Issues and challenges in current generalizability theory applications in rated measurement
… into issues and challenges regarding the use of generalizability theory or G theory (Brennan, 2001; Cronbach, Gleser, Nanda, & Rajaratnam, 1972; Shavelson & Webb, 1991) in rated measurement given by human raters. Contexts in which such measurement prevails include, but are not limited to, …

Fundamental Limits of Learning for Generalizability, Data Resilience, and Resource Efficiency
… we study the limits of learning with respect to generalizability and data assumptions following the universal learning framework. In universal learning, we seek general algorithms that have convergence guarantees for any objective task without structural restrictions. While this cannot be …

Computational Methods to Improve Satellite Attitude Determination and Control with a Focus on Autonomy, Generalizability, and Underactuation
The attitude determination and control system (ADCS) onboard a satellite uses sensors to measure orientation and angular velocity, enabling the satellite to manage angular momentum, counteract disturbances, and point in the desired directions. Many historical ADCS approaches are designed for …
