• The variance-bias trade-off for late pretests is addressed both theoretically and empirically for several commonly used impact estimators — related
• Including late pretest data in RCT analyses can bias post-test impact estimates because pretests are collected after random assignment — related
• Deciding whether to collect and use late pretest data in RCTs involves a variance-bias trade-off — related
• In RCTs of interventions to improve student test scores, estimators including late pretests will typically be preferred to estimators excluding them or using other baseline data — related
• The late-pretest estimator preference holds as long as test score impacts do not grow very quickly early in the school year — related
