Ersen, Rabia Karatoprak; Lee, Won-Chan – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2023
The purpose of this study was to compare calibration and linking methods for placing pretest item parameter estimates on the item pool scale in a 1-3 computerized multistage adaptive testing design in terms of item parameter recovery. Two models were used: embedded-section, in which pretest items were administered within a separate module, and…

Kang, Hyeon-Ah; Zhang, Susu; Chang, Hua-Hua – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
The development of cognitive diagnostic-computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT) has provided a new perspective for gaining information about examinees' mastery on a set of cognitive attributes. This study proposes a new item selection method within the framework of dual-objective CD-CAT that simultaneously addresses examinees' attribute mastery…

Kim, Sooyeon; Moses, Tim; Yoo, Hanwook Henry – ETS Research Report Series, 2015
The purpose of this inquiry was to investigate the effectiveness of item response theory (IRT) proficiency estimators in terms of estimation bias and error under multistage testing (MST). We chose a 2-stage MST design in which 1 adaptation to the examinees' ability levels takes place. It includes 4 modules (1 at Stage 1, 3 at Stage 2) and 3 paths…

van Krimpen-Stoop, Edith M. L. A.; Meijer, Rob R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2002
Compared the nominal and empirical null distributions of the standardized log-likelihood statistic for polytomous items for paper-and-pencil (P&P) and computerized adaptive tests (CATs). Results show that the empirical distribution of the statistic differed from the assumed standard normal distribution for both P&P tests and CATs. Also…

Hankins, Janette A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
The effects of a fixed and variable entry procedure on bias and information of a Bayesian adaptive test were compared. Neither procedure produced biased ability estimates on the average. Bias at the distribution extremes, efficiency curves, item subsets generated for administration, and items required to reach termination are discussed. (TJH)

Rizavi, Saba; Hariharan, Swaminathan – Online Submission, 2001
The advantages that computer adaptive testing offers over linear tests have been well documented. The Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) design is more efficient than the Linear test design as fewer items are needed to estimate an examinee's proficiency to a desired level of precision. In the ideal situation, a CAT will result in examinees answering…
