Peer reviewedGao, Rui; He, Wei; Ruan, Chunyi – ETS Research Report Series, 2012
In this study, we investigated whether preequating results agree with equating results that are based on observed operational data (postequating) for a college placement program. Specifically, we examined the degree to which item response theory (IRT) true score preequating results agreed with those from IRT true score postequating and from…

von Davier, Alina A., Ed.; Liu, Mei, Ed. – ETS Research Report Series, 2006
This report builds on and extends existent research on population invariance to new tests and issues. The authors lay the foundation for a deeper understanding of the use of population invariance measures in a wide variety of practical contexts. The invariance of linear, equipercentile and IRT equating methods are examined using data from five…
