Abstract

In large-scale psychological testing programs, it happens frequently that a group of items must be checked for accuracy with respect to certain characteristics. In many cases it is not feasible to check each item in the group separately, so that a decision concerning the entire group is usually reached by examining in detail only a small portion of the group. This paper proposes some sequential sampling plans for use in this type of work. A general discussion of the problem is followed by an illustrative example of the method applied to checking scores on groups of psychological test papers.
