Comparison of Four Methods for Weighting Multiple Predictors.
Aamodt, Michael G.; Kimbrough, Wilson W.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n3 p477-82 Aut 1985
Four methods were used to weight predictors associated with a Resident Assistant job: (1) rank order weights; (2) unit weights; (3) critical incident weights; and (4) regression weights. A cross-validation was also done. Most weighting methods were highly related. No method was superior in terms of protection from validity shrinkage. (GDC)
