An Investigation of the Sampling Distributions of Equating Coefficients.
Baker, Frank B.
Applied Psychological Measurement, v20 n1 p45-57 Mar 1996
Using the characteristic curve method for dichotomously scored test items, the sampling distributions of equating coefficients were examined. Simulations indicate that for the equating conditions studied, the sampling distributions of the equating coefficients appear to have acceptable characteristics, suggesting confidence in the values obtained by the characteristic curve method.
