Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
Michael W. Browne,Robert Cudeck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered, error of approximation and error of fit, where the first involves the fit of the model, and the second involves the model's shape.

Power analysis and determination of sample size for covariance structure modeling.
TL;DR: In this article, a framework for hypothesis testing and power analysis in the assessment of fit of covariance structure models is presented, where the value of confidence intervals for fit indices is emphasized.

The g factor.
TL;DR: Syllogisms would be suitable items in an achievement test, to determine whether a student had mastered the use of Venn diagrams after receiving instruction, and all algebraic formulas and equations are decontextualized statements.

Thirty years of research on race differences in cognitive ability
TL;DR: The culture-only and the hereditarian models of the causes of mean Black-White differences in cognitive ability are compared and contrasted across 10 categories of evidence: the worldwide distribution of test scores, g factor of mental ability, heritability, brain size and cognitive ability, transracial adoption, racial admixture, regression, related life-history traits, human origins research, and hypothesized environmental variables as discussed by the authors.

Bias in Mental Testing
TL;DR: Jensen as discussed by the authors argued that standardized tests are not biased against English-speaking minority groups and described the uses of such tests in education and employment, and proposed methods for assessing bias in commonly used I.Q., aptitude, and achievement tests.

The development of hierarchical factor solutions
John Schmid,John M. Leiman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model is presented which transforms the oblique factor solution so as to preserve simple structure and, in addition, to provide orthogonal reference axes, making explicit the hierarchical ordering of factors above the first-order domain.

TL;DR: A book not to be recommi medical students or to anyon pity, Dr. Snell's text is sational and dilatory; most pa and sentences could be cut their length.
