Kreiner, Svend – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2011
To rule out the need for a two-parameter item response theory (IRT) model during item analysis by Rasch models, it is important to check the Rasch model's assumption that all items have the same item discrimination. Biserial and polyserial correlation coefficients measuring the association between items and restscores are often used in an informal…

Due to the high stakes that my be attached to placement decisions, it is imperative that the placement process be as solid and defensible as possible.
