van der Linden, Wim J.; Breithaupt, Krista; Chuah, Siang Chee; Zhang, Yanwei – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2007
A potential undesirable effect of multistage testing is differential speededness, which happens if some of the test takers run out of time because they receive subtests with items that are more time intensive than others. This article shows how a probabilistic response-time model can be used for estimating differences in time intensities and speed…

Secolsky, Charles – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1987
For measuring the face validity of a test, Nevo suggested that test takers and nonprofessional users rate items on a five point scale. This article questions the ability of those raters and the credibility of the aggregated judgment as evidence of the validity of the test. (JAZ)

Spencer, Bruce D. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
Because test scores are ordinal not cordinal attributes, the average test score often is a misleading way to summarize the scores of a group of individuals. Similarly, correlation coefficients may be misleading summary measures of association between test scores. Proper, readily interpretable, summary statistics are developed from a theory of…

Stenner, A. Jackson; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
In an attempt to restore the symmetry and balance between the study of person and item variation, this paper presents a novel methodology construct specification equations, which allows one to ascertain from the lawful behavior of items what an instrument is measuring. (Author/PN)

Budescu, David – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1985
An important determinant of equating process efficiency is the correlation between the anchor test and components of each form. Use of some monotonic function of this correlation as a measure of equating efficiency is suggested. A model relating anchor test length and test reliability to this measure of efficiency is presented. (Author/DWH)
