Assessors accessed these files using online scoring tools to facilitate analytical marking and comparative judgement.
Overall, the study demonstrated the feasibility of using Rasch measurement with analytical marking and comparative judgements for the digital assessment of performance as a reliable and valid alternative to paper-based high-stakes examinations.
In the third study, which began in 2011 and was completed in 2014 (Newhouse & Tarricone, 2014) the researchers sought to investigate the efficacy of digitisation for online analytical marking and comparative judgement methods by building on Dillon and Brown's (2006) use of e-portfolios.
Pollitt (2012b) has consistently argued that comparative judgment can be conducted at a comparable or lower cost to analytical, traditional marking and that comparative judgement provides consistently high reliability.
Many researchers have also investigated the effectiveness of, and correlation between, absolute analytical marking and relative comparative judgements.
Compared to other dinosaurs, bone histology suggests that sauropods had the highest growth rates as evidenced by the lack of growth marks and the limited comparative data from growth curves (Erickson et al., 2001).
Pierre Belon, (born 1517, near Le Mans, France died April 1564, Paris) French naturalist whose discussion of dolphin embryos and systematic comparisons of the skeletons of birds and humans mark the beginnings of modern embryology and comparative anatomy.

He marked out the main lines of descriptive and comparative study that had to be accomplished before the modern approach the causal analysis of development could emerge.
Both NGS and comparative genomic hybridisation studies in breast cancer suggest marked genetic intra-tumour heterogeneity (Torres et al, 2007; Shah et al, 2009; Navin et al, 2010).
