Toward Developing an Unbiased Scoring Algorithm for "NASA" and Similar Ranking Tasks.
Lane, Irving M.; And Others
Group and Organization Studies, v6 n2 p235-43 Jun 1981
Presents both logical and empirical evidence to illustrate that the conventional scoring algorithm for ranking tasks significantly underestimates the initial level of group ability and that Slevin's alternative scoring algorithm significantly overestimates the initial level of ability. Presents a modification of Slevin's algorithm which authors believe is unbiased. (Author/RC)
