Statistical Analysis of Sets of Congeneric Tests | Psychometrika | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Abstract

Various models for sets of congeneric tests are considered, including models appropriate for the analysis of multitrait-multimethod data. All models are illustrated with real data. The special cases when two or more tests within a set are tau-equivalent or parallel are also considered. All data analyses are done within the framework of a general model by Jöreskog [1970].
