Computation of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised Factor Scores: Equal and Differential Weights.
Parker, Kevin C. H.; Atkinson, Leslie
Psychological Assessment, v7 n4 p456-62 Dec 1995
The statistical ramifications of using equal weights, as compared to regression-based differential weights, in the estimation of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) factor scores were explored using WAIS standardization data, based on 1,880 adults. Differences resulting from the two approaches were substantial, as is discussed. (SLD)
