Testing the Hypothesis of a Homoscedastic Error Term in Simple, Nonparametric Regression
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wilcox, Rand R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Consider the nonparametric regression model Y = m(X)+ [tau](X)[epsilon], where X and [epsilon] are independent random variables, [epsilon] has a median of zero and variance [sigma][squared], [tau] is some unknown function used to model heteroscedasticity, and m(X) is an unknown function reflecting some conditional measure of location associated…

Analyzing the Distractors of Multiple-Choice Test Items or Partitioning Multinomial Cell Probabilities with Respect to a Standard.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilcox, Rand R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1981
A formal framework is presented for determining which of the distractors of multiple-choice test items has a small probability of being chosen by a typical examinee. The framework is based on a procedure similar to an indifference zone formulation of a ranking and election problem. (Author/BW)

An Alternative Interpretation of Three Stability Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilcox, Rand R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
Wilcox has described three probability models which characterize a single test item in terms of a population of examinees (ED 156 718). This note indicates indicates that similar models can be derived which characterize a single examinee in terms of an item domain. A numerical illustration is given. (Author/JKS)
