The Problem of Generalizing to a Language Population

Carol L. Leonard 1
Darla Orchard 1
1 School of Communication Sciences and Disorders McGill University Montreal, Quebec, Canada

The rationale behind the use of item statistics as well as objections to their use are reviewed.

KEY WORDS: item statistics, min F', random sampling, generalization
