Computerized Adaptive Testing for Classifying Examinees into Three Categories.

Peer reviewed

Eggen, T. J. H. M.; Straetmans, G. J. J. M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2000

Studied the use of adaptive testing when examinees are classified into three categories. Established testing algorithms with two different statistical computation procedures and evaluated them through simulation using an operative item bank from Dutch basic adult education. Results suggest a reduction of at least 22% in the mean number of items…

van der Burg, Eeke; de Leeuw, Jan – 1988

A non-linear version of redundancy analysis is introduced. The technique is called REDUNDALS. It is implemented within the computer program for canonical correlation analysis called CANALS. The REDUNDALS algorithm is of an alternating least square (ALS) type. The technique is defined as minimization of a squared distance between criterion…
