Term
Base Rate
Definition
=(TP + FN)/Number of Decisions
Term
Hit Rate
Definition
=(TP+TN)/Number of Decisions
Term
Sensitivity
Definition
=TP/(TP + FN)
Term
Specificity
Definition
=TN/(TN + FP)
Term
Positive Predictive Power
Definition
=TP/(TP + FP)
Term
Negative Predictive Power
Definition
=TN/(TN + FN)
Term
Incremental Validity
Definition

=PPP-BR

or

=NPP-(1-BR)

or for overall accuracy:

=Hit Rate- (1-BR)

Term
MMTM Step 1
Definition

Monotrait-Monomethod coefficieints ()

reliability-->must be high in order for the matrix to provide useful info

Term
MMTM Step 2
Definition

Monotrait-Heteromethod coefficients []

High correlations provide evidence of convergent validity; aka validity diagonal

 

Term
MMTM Step 3
Definition

Heterotrait-Monomethod coefficients <>

Low correlations provide evidence of discriminant validity.

High correlations suggest shared methods variance-->method "flavors" what it's measuring.

Term
MMTM Step 4
Definition

Heterotrait-Heteromethod __

Low correlations (<.3) provide evidence of discriminant validity.

High correlations (>.6)-->constructs might not really be different.

Should be higher than values in validity diagonal.

Term
Building a confidence interval Step 1
Definition

Calculate estimated True score

y= M + r(X-M)

M= test mean

r= reliability

X= obtained score

Term

Building a confidence interval Step 2

 

Definition

Calculate Standard Error of the Estimate (SEest)

SEest= SDtest √[r(1-r)]

Term
Building a confidence interval Step 3
Definition

Calculate the CI band

95% CI= ±1.96(SEest)

Term
Building a confidence interval Step 4
Definition
Add result from step 3 to True score, substract result from step 3 from True score
Term
Building a confidence interval Step 5
Definition

Look up percentiles and classification for CI band.

If M is not 100, and SD is not 15, calculate z-scores for CI band first.
