The Effect of a Joint Correction for the Attenuating Effect of Criterion Unreliability and Case 1 Restriction of Range on Expected Criterion Performance and the Conditional Probability of Success
This article reports the results of a portion of a more comprehensive study on the effect of corrections for random error of measurement and/or various forms of restriction of range on those estimates required to specify and justify a selection procedure. The objective of this article is to determine the effect of a joint correction for criterion unreliability and Case 1 selection on the predictor on the expected criterion performance, conditional criterion variance, and selection decision making.
