Smoothing Methods for Estimating Test Score Distributions.
Kolen, Michael J.
Journal of Educational Measurement, v28 n3 p257-82 Fall 1991
Estimation/smoothing methods that are flexible enough to fit a wide variety of test score distributions are reviewed: kernel method, strong true-score model-based method, and method that uses polynomial log-linear models. Applications of these methods include describing/comparing test score distributions, estimating norms, and estimating equipercentile equivalents in test score equating. (SLD)
