A critical review of the 24-step procedure of Miller and Rohling's (in press) proposed standardization of clinician's use of neuropsychological assessment batteries is presented. Each step is examined for statistical sources of invalidity. It was concluded that parts of the procedure are quite vulnerable to between-battery variability that cannot be easily estimated or controlled, leading to significant errors in analysis and classification. A second fatal flaw is the failure to distinguish in the procedures between standard error measurement and standard error of the estimate in calculations in several steps. The purpose of the process remains viable, however, and is an important contribution toward the improvement of clinical diagnosis.

对米勒和罗林关于神经心理学测试数据的统计解释方法的评论。

提出了对米勒和罗林（出版中）提出的标准化临床医生使用神经心理学评估电池的24步骤程序的严格审查。检查每个步骤的无效性统计来源。结论是，该过程的某些部分很容易受到电池间可变性的影响，无法轻易估计或控制，从而导致分析和分类方面的重大错误。第二个致命缺陷是无法在几个步骤中在计算过程中区分标准误差测量和估算的标准误差。但是，该过程的目的仍然可行，并且对改善临床诊断具有重要意义。
