Shaojie Wang; Won-Chan Lee; Minqiang Zhang; Lixin Yuan – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
To reduce the impact of parameter estimation errors on IRT linking results, recent work introduced two information-weighted characteristic curve methods for dichotomous items. These two methods showed outstanding performance in both simulation and pseudo-form pseudo-group analysis. The current study expands upon the concept of information…

Wells, Craig S.; Bolt, Daniel M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2008
Tests of model misfit are often performed to validate the use of a particular model in item response theory. Douglas and Cohen (2001) introduced a general nonparametric approach for detecting misfit under the two-parameter logistic model. However, the statistical properties of their approach, and empirical comparisons to other methods, have not…
