Generalizability theory. Generalizability theory, or G theory, is a statistical framework for conceptualizing, investigating, and designing reliable observations. It is used to determine the reliability (i.e., reproducibility) of measurements under specific conditions. It is particularly useful for assessing the reliability of performance ...
External validity is the validity of applying the conclusions of a scientific study outside the context of that study. [1] In other words, it is the extent to which the results of a study can generalize or transport to other situations, people, stimuli, and times. [2] [3] Generalizability refers to the applicability of a predefined sample to a ...
Goldine C. Gleser (1915 – 2004) was an American psychologist and statistician known for her research on the statistics of psychological testing, on generalizability theory, on defence mechanisms, on the psychological effects on child survivors of the Buffalo Creek flood, for her work with Mildred Trotter on estimation of stature, and for her participation in the Cincinnati Radiation Experiments.
Analytic narrative. An analytic narrative is a social science research method seeking to combine historical narratives with the rigor of rational choice theory, particularly through the use of game theory . The goal of analytic narratives is to provide several forms of discipline on the structure of case studies, such as a game, out of sample ...
Construct validity is the appropriateness of inferences made on the basis of observations or measurements (often test scores), specifically whether a test can reasonably be considered to reflect the intended construct. Constructs are abstractions that are deliberately created by researchers in order to conceptualize the latent variable, which ...
Cronbach's alpha (Cronbach's ), also known as tau-equivalent reliability ( ) or coefficient alpha (coefficient ), is a reliability coefficient and a measure of the internal consistency of tests and measures. [1] [2] [3] Numerous studies warn against using Cronbach's alpha unconditionally. Statisticians regard reliability coefficients based on ...
Cartographic generalization is the process of selecting and representing information of a map in a way that adapts to the scale of the display medium of the map. In this way, every map has, to some extent, been generalized to match the criteria of display. This includes small cartographic scale maps, which cannot convey every detail of the real ...
Curriculum-based measurement. (Redirected from Curriculum-Based Measurement) Curriculum-based measurement, or CBM, is also referred to as a general outcomes measures (GOMs) of a student's performance in either basic skills or content knowledge.
