Modelling examination marks
Daryl J. Daley,Eugene Seneta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model to describe marks as awarded to students who select and sit for examinations in a subset of the courses offered, where a linear transformation of the raw marks is sought so as to place all marks on a common scale.

The Comparison and Scaling of Student Assessment Marks in Several Subjects
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of comparing subjects based on cumulative sums (CUSUMS) of differences between subject marks and student mean marks is proposed, and a randomization test can be used to see whether observed cumulative sums are within the bounds expected if subjects do have comparable marks.

A likelihood approach to scaling examination marks
John D. Biggins,K.K. Yue +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a likelihood-based approach which allows preconceptions to be handled by standard Bayesian techniques is proposed, where the authors introduce fictitious candidates to deal with prior beliefs in the least square set-up.

Information based algorithms for scaling assessment scores
Roger J. Bowden
- 01 Jan 2015
TL;DR: A new scaling algorithm is developed that utilises the locational or partition entropy function, and in all cases the median score is the natural pivot, but user preferences as to upper and lower extremes can be used to adjust scaling parameters.
