Assessing the Reliability of Computer Adaptive Testing Branching Algorithms Using HyperCAT.
Shermis, Mark D.; And Others – 1992
The reliability of four branching algorithms commonly used in computer adaptive testing (CAT) was examined. These algorithms were: (1) maximum likelihood (MLE); (2) Bayesian; (3) modal Bayesian; and (4) crossover. Sixty-eight undergraduate college students were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions using the HyperCard-based CAT program,…
