Evaluation of Small-Sample Statistics that Test Whether Variables Measure the Same Trait.
Rasmussen, Jeffrey Lee
Applied Psychological Measurement, v12 n2 p177-87 Jun 1988
The performance was studied of five small-sample statistics--by F. M. Lord, W. Kristof, Q. McNemar, R. A. Forsyth and L. S. Feldt, and J. P. Braden--that test whether two variables measure the same trait except for measurement error. Effects of non-normality were investigated. The McNemar statistic was most powerful. (TJH)
