Oxford, Raquel M.; Daniel, Larry G. – Research in the Schools, 2001
Uses a heuristic example, data from K. Holzinger and F. Swineford (1939) to illustrate the "holdout" method to assess the generalizability of results in multiple regression. Regression weighted from one data subset are used to compare estimated dependent variable scores from the opposite subset. (SLD)
