Notes: Computer grades were transformed from the raw scale to a log scale for improved normal distribution and linearity, after which regressions and standardized regressions were calculated on predicted scores to obtain agreement, accuracy and concordance. Note that the OCDER mean is one score, whose mean and standard deviation are repeated in the table for ease of use.
