Definition:
() Art not.
Example Sentences:
(1) The standard error of prediction for each equation is slightly less than that for predicting WAIS IQ from the NART.
(2) Inclusion of NART estimated IQs in the analyses resulted in significantly greater discrimination than was achieved by WAIS IQs alone.
