Regression Effects on Part Scores Based on Whole-Score Selected Samples.
Willson, Victor L.; Reynolds, Cecil R.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n1 p95-101 Spr 1984

These procedures produce regression to the population mean which can affect accuracy and adequacy of part score interpretations. (Author/DWH)
