Lang, Joseph B. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
This article is concerned with the statistical detection of copying on multiple-choice exams. As an alternative to existing permutation- and model-based copy-detection approaches, a simple randomization p-value (RP) test is proposed. The RP test, which is based on an intuitive match-score statistic, makes no assumptions about the distribution of…

Yu, Albert; Douglas, Jeffrey A. – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
We propose a new item response theory growth model with item-specific learning parameters, or ISLP, and two variations of this model. In the ISLP model, either items or blocks of items have their own learning parameters. This model may be used to improve the efficiency of learning in a formative assessment. We show ways that the ISLP model's…

Patton, Jeffrey M.; Cheng, Ying; Hong, Maxwell; Diao, Qi – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2019
In psychological and survey research, the prevalence and serious consequences of careless responses from unmotivated participants are well known. In this study, we propose to iteratively detect careless responders and cleanse the data by removing their responses. The careless responders are detected using person-fit statistics. In two simulation…

van der Linden, Wim J.; Xiong, Xinhui – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2013
Two simple constraints on the item parameters in a response--time model are proposed to control the speededness of an adaptive test. As the constraints are additive, they can easily be included in the constraint set for a shadow-test approach (STA) to adaptive testing. Alternatively, a simple heuristic is presented to control speededness in plain…

Wang, Chun – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2014
Many latent traits in social sciences display a hierarchical structure, such as intelligence, cognitive ability, or personality. Usually a second-order factor is linearly related to a group of first-order factors (also called domain abilities in cognitive ability measures), and the first-order factors directly govern the actual item responses.…
