Another Look at Evaluating Aptitude-Achievement Discrepancies in the Diagnosis of Learning Disabilities.
Willson, Victor L.; Reynolds, Cecil R.
Journal of Special Education, v18 n4 p477-87 Win 1984-85

Data are cited to provide support for the regression model as the simplest to use and most efficient statistically. (Author/CL)
