Computes the standard error of linear equating, under the random groups design, using an equation derived by Braun and Holland (1982).
Usage
se.ln(x, y, scale)
Arguments
x, y
vectors of scores for forms X and Y, either as total scores (one per examinee), or total counts (one per score scale point)
scale
the score scale, as a vector
Value
Returns a vector containing the standard error of equating at each point in the scale
Details
This function is called by equate.ln, where it is only applicable to the random groups equating design.
