Abstract:
Decision consistency (DC) is the reliability of a classification decision based on a test score. In professional credentialing, the decision is often a high-stakes pass/fail decision. The current methods for estimating DC are computationally complex. The purpose of this research is to provide a computationally and conceptually simple method for estimating DC that produces results comparable to, and at times potentially better than, the widely used Livingston-Lewis method.
