Peer reviewedRudner, Lawrence M.; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
An analysis of data from the 1990 National Assessment of Educational Progress Trial State Assessment suggests that person-fit statistics may not provide additional information about results of psychometrically strong achievement tests. More research is needed before person-fit statistics can be used routinely in analysis of item response data.…

Peer reviewedReise, Steven P.; Flannery, Wm. Peter – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Statistical and theoretical issues that arise from assessing person-fit on measures of typical performance are discussed, including the frequent attenuation of detection of person-misfit, the need for methods of identifying sources of response aberrancy, and person-fit measures as moderators of trait-criterion relations.

Peer reviewedTatsuoka, Kikumi – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Application of person-fit statistics to cognitive diagnosis requires special efforts to detect normal and usual response patterns resulting from sources of misconception that are frequently observed among students. This study shows a solution for the problem by introducing an extension of a person-fit statistic developed by K. Tatsuoka (1985).…

Peer reviewedAckerman, Terry A. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1994
When item response data do not satisfy the unidimensionality assumption, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) should be used to model the item-examinee interaction. This article presents and discusses MIRT analyses designed to give better insight into what individual items are measuring. (SLD)

Peer reviewedMills, Craig N.; Stocking, Martha L. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
Issues that must be addressed in the large-scale application of computerized adaptive testing are explored, including considerations of test design, scoring, test administration, item and item bank development, and other aspects of test construction. Possible solutions and areas in which additional work is needed are identified. (SLD)
