Application of an Automated Item Selection Method to Real Data.

Stocking, Martha L.; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v17 n2 p167-76 Jun 1993

Tests constructed manually from the same data and constraints were compared to tests constructed automatically. Results show areas in which automated assembly can improve test construction. (SLD)
