TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Scoring and analysis of performance examinations: a comparison of methods and interpretations JO - Journal of outcome measurement A1 - Lunz, M. E. A1 - Schumacker, R. E. SP - 219 EP - 238 VL - 1 IS - 3 N2 - The purpose of this study was to compare the results and interpretation of the data from a performance examination when four methods of analysis are used. Methods are 1) traditional summary statistics, 2) inter-judge correlations, 3) generalizability theory, and 4) the multi-facet Rasch model. Results indicated that similar sources of variance were identified using each method; however, the multi-facet Rasch model is the only method that linearized the scores and accounts for differences in the particular examination challenged by a candidate before ability estimates are calculated.
