Information from the population should be directly transposed to individual level only under strict conditions of stationarity and homogeneity. In general, psychological phenomena are neither stationary nor homogeneous. Furthermore, parameters must estimated. The usual techniques estimating rarely attainable. This occurs because in order get valid estimates parameters, many occasions same test performed. this article, we propose an approach (simerg algorithm) estimate individual, so that a proper clinical testing for context setting require respondents' performance becomes viable. We present rationale simerg apply it verbal comprehension ability three individuals, which performed, 90 different occasions, 60 items ability. application, show how uses initial empirical these persons simulates their whole performance. evaluate validity using measures predict conclude produces estimates. Further studies variety populations tests needed enable stronger conclusion about simerg.
