Abstract
Large scale studies frequently use complex sampling procedures, disproportionate sampling weights, and adjustment techniques to account for potential bias due to nonresponses and to ensure that results from the sample can be generalized to a larger population. Survey researchers are concerned about measurement error and the use of weights in developing models. Consequently, multiple weighting factors are used and these weighting factors are manifested as a final survey (composite) weight available for analysis. We developed a method to incorporate an external weighting factor like this for analyses of measurement errors in the theory of generalizability to provide researchers with a tool to evaluate the measurement error components of survey quality and undesirable error components of large-scale assessment programs such as national and state assessments.
