Estimating Measures of Pass-Fail Reliability from Parallel Half-Tests.
Woodruff, David J.; Sawyer, Richard L.
Applied Psychological Measurement, v13 n1 p33-43 Mar 1989
Two methods--non-distributional and normal--are derived for estimating measures of pass-fail reliability. Both are based on the Spearman Brown formula and require only a single test administration. Results from a simulation (n=20,000 examinees) and a licensure examination (n=4,828 examinees) illustrate these methods. (SLD)
