Computerized Adaptive Testing with the Partial Credit Model: Estimation Procedures, Population Distributions, and Item Pool Characteristics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gorin, Joanna; Dodd, Barbara; Fitzpatrick, Steven; Shieh, Yann – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2005
The primary purpose of this research is to examine the impact of estimation methods, actual latent trait distributions, and item pool characteristics on the performance of a simulated computerized adaptive testing (CAT) system. In this study, three estimation procedures are compared for accuracy of estimation: maximum likelihood estimation (MLE),…

A Feedback Control Strategy for Enhancing Item Selection Efficiency in Computerized Adaptive Testing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weissman, Alexander – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2006
A computerized adaptive test (CAT) may be modeled as a closed-loop system, where item selection is influenced by trait level ([theta]) estimation and vice versa. When discrepancies exist between an examinee's estimated and true [theta] levels, nonoptimal item selection is a likely result. Nevertheless, examinee response behavior consistent with…
