Statistical and decision theoretic aspects of examination assessment.

Simon French (1989)

Trabajos de Estadística

Similarity:

At a recent conference in Innsbruck, held in memory of Bruno De Finetti, attention focused on one of his aphorisms: analysts should think about things. This paper seeks to do precisely that in the context of public examinations in England and Wales. It attempts to think about those quantitative things that are done to marks in the process of assessing candidate scripts. Public examinations are central to our education system: hundreds of thousands of candidates enter them every year....

Local and regional coherence utility assessment procedures.

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Similarity:

Novick and Lindley (1978, 1979) have dealt with the use of utility functions for applications in education and have advocated the use of the standard gamble (von Neumann and Morgenstern, 1953) elicitation procedure with the addition of coherence checking using overspecification and a least squares fit. In this procedure utilities are inferred from probability judgements offered by the assessor. This paper describes local and regional coherence procedures which seek utility coherence...
