Peer reviewedHambleton, Ronald K.; Cook, Linda L. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1977
This article presents a non-mathematical introduction to latent trait test models and some of their features. Latent trait models are compared to classical test models. Two promising applications of latent trait models and available computer programs are discussed. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedHambleton, Ronald K.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
A new method was developed to assist in the selection of a test length by utilizing computer simulation procedures and item response theory. A demonstration of the method presents results which address the influences of item pool heterogeneity matched to the objectives of interest and the method of item selection. (Author/PN)
