The sequential product A ◦ B of two subtests A and B on a sequential σ-effect algebra E with an order determining set of σ-states is defined. The concepts of sharp, compatible and coexistent subtests are defined. It is shown that a subtest is repeatable if and only if it is sharp. It is also shown that if A is sharp and A, B coexist, then A and B are compatible. A partial order on subtests is d...

Performance on a cognitive test can be viewed either as measuring a unitary function or as reflecting the operation of multiple factors. Individual subtests in batteries designed to measure human abilities are commonly modeled as a single latent factor. Several latent factors are then used to model groups of subtests. However these latent factors are not independent as they are related through ...
