Applying Bayesian Item Selection Approaches to Adaptive Tests Using Polytomous Items
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Penfield, Randall D. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2006
This study applied the maximum expected information (MEI) and the maximum posterior-weighted information (MPI) approaches of computer adaptive testing item selection to the case of a test using polytomous items following the partial credit model. The MEI and MPI approaches are described. A simulation study compared the efficiency of ability…

The Validity of Normative Data Provided for Customized Tests: Two Perspectives.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Forsyth, Robert A.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
Two criteria defined in previous research that can be used to evaluate the validity of normative data provided for customized tests are discussed. Results of an exploratory investigation of the validity of such data for about 2,500 fifth graders in a 1989 study are reported. (SLD)
