D Study Result - G-String-Legacy/GS_MV GitHub Wiki

Whereas G Studies determine the G Coefficients of an actual test, D Studies help with 'what if' scenarios, i.e. in finding most cost effective designs for actual tests, based on preliminary variance components from pilot studies.

Once we know the variance components, the G Coefficients depend only on the sample sizes of the facets of generalization by simple arithmetic calculations.

Now let's look at the result of the D Study:
