Some Properties of a Bayesian Adaptive Ability Testing Strategy.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
McBride, James R.; Weiss, David J. – 1976
Four monte carlo simulation studies of Owen's Bayesian sequential procedure for adaptive mental testing were conducted. Whereas previous simulation studies of this procedure have concentrated on evaluating it in terms of the correlation of its test scores with simulated ability in a normal population, these four studies explored a number of…

McBride, James R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1977
The results of a series of simulation studies designed to investigate the influence of guessing and item pool characteristics on the bias, accuracy, and information properties of the trait estimates derived from Owen's Bayesian sequential testing strategy are reported. (RC)
