Peer reviewedvan der Linden, Wim J.; Reese, Lynda M. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1998
Proposes a model for constrained computerized adaptive testing in which the information in the test at the trait level (theta) estimate is maximized subject to the number of possible constraints on the content of the test. Test assembly relies on a linear-programming approach. Illustrates the approach through simulation with items from the Law…

Peer reviewedvan der Linden, Wim J.; Luecht, Richard M. – Psychometrika, 1998
Derives a set of linear conditions of item-response functions that guarantees identical observed-score distributions on two test forms. The conditions can be added as constraints to a linear programming model for test assembly. An example illustrates the use of the model for an item pool from the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT).
