A Mark-Scaling Algorithm

C. G. Broyden *

Department of Computer Science, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, UK

This paper describes an algorithm designed to compensate for the varying difficulty of examination papers when options are permitted. The algorithm is non-iterative, and does not require a common paper to be taken by all students. It may be possible to extend the approach described to the more general statistical ‘missing values’ problem.

Received January 1982.
