Delta was created with the model of a set of students (
C) having to choose correct responses (
R) from a set of
n questions each with
K alternative answers. Then : \frac{K\Sigma_{ii} - n }{n(K-1)} where the sum is taken over all the answers (
xij ) and
xii are the values along the main diagonal of the C x R
matrix of answers. This formula was extended to more complex cases and estimates of the
variance of delta were made by Andres and Marzo. ==Uses==
