Peer reviewedGustafsson, Jan-Eric – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
The statistically correct conditional maximum likelihood (CML) estimation method has not been used because of numerical problems. A solution is presented which allows a rapid computation of the CML esitmates also for long tests. CML has decisive advantages in the construction of statistical tests of goodness of fit. (Author/CP)

Peer reviewedReuterberg, Sven-Eric; Gustafsson, Jan-Eric – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
The use of confirmatory factor analysis by the LISREL program is demonstrated as an assumption-testing method when computing reliability coefficients under different model assumptions. Results indicate that reliability estimates are robust against departure from the assumption of parallelism of test items. (SLD)
