Why is True Score Important?
- Accurate Representation: The true score serves as a reliable representation of the central tendency of a user population’s distribution, providing valuable insights into overall performance or behavior.
- Estimation Benchmark: When direct measurement of the true score is impractical due to large populations, it serves as a benchmark against which observed scores from samples are compared, aiding in inference and estimation.
- Sample Generalization: By estimating the true score from sample data, researchers can generalize findings to the broader user population, facilitating broader applicability of research outcomes.
