Huitzing, Hiddo A. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2004
This article shows how set covering with item sampling (SCIS) methods can be used in the analysis and preanalysis of linear programming models for test assembly (LPTA). LPTA models can construct tests, fulfilling a set of constraints set by the test assembler. Sometimes, no solution to the LPTA model exists. The model is then said to be…

Cliff, Norman; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
Monte Carlo research with TAILOR, a program using implied orders as a basis for tailored testing, is reported. TAILOR typically required about half the available items to estimate, for each simulated examinee, the responses on the remainder. (Author/CTM)

Graham, John W.; Taylor, Bonnie J.; Olchowski, Allison E.; Cumsille, Patricio E. – Psychological Methods, 2006
The authors describe 2 efficiency (planned missing data) designs for measurement: the 3-form design and the 2-method measurement design. The 3-form design, a kind of matrix sampling, allows researchers to leverage limited resources to collect data for 33% more survey questions than can be answered by any 1 respondent. Power tables for estimating…

Gressard, Risa P.; Loyd, Brenda H. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1991
To determine the accuracy of simulated data sets, an investigation was conducted of the effects of item sampling plans in the application of multiple matrix sampling using both simulated and empirical data sets. Although results were similar, empirical data results were more precise. (SLD)
