Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 1980, vol. 5, issue 2, 157-168

Abstract: A procedure for Screening is given for the case where an underlying joint bivariate normal distribution is assumed for the screening variate and the performance variate. This is extended to the situation with unknown parameters. The procedure for attaining a preset goal for the performance variable is given. An analysis is also made to determine the effect of a preset selection procedure on the performance when the parameters of the bivariate normal distribution are unknown.
