[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't anyone else think the "insufficient numbers" excuse is bullshit on Melba toast? 13,000 second graders. That's almost exactly 250 birthdays per week, or 35.6 per day. I'm not a statistician, but it seems that plotting score against day of birth would yield a pretty clear curve. [/quote] Why don't you contact the program, you make a good point. Though, It's hardly bull**** on Melba toast. [/quote] What makes it seem to be "BS on Melba Toast" is the statement that there is not enough data to age norm the sample, but then stating that in future years they hope to age normalize the results. Where is the additional data going to come from in future years? Will they combine results from this year to next to garner more sample points? That seems unlikely if they are going to use a new test. There certainly will not be a larger sample size. WTF? Smells very fishy.[/quote]
