Automated Scoring in Medical Licensing

Posted: | M. J. Margolis, B. E. Clauser

In this chapter we describe the historical background that led to development of the simulations and the subsequent refinement of the construct that occurred as the interface was being developed. We then describe the evolution of the automated scoring procedures from linear regression modeling to rule-based procedures.
