Luo, Yong – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2021
To date, only frequentist model-selection methods have been studied with mixed-format data in the context of IRT model-selection, and it is unknown how popular Bayesian model-selection methods such as DIC, WAIC, and LOO perform. In this study, we present the results of a comprehensive simulation study that compared the performances of eight…

Wyse, Adam E.; McBride, James R. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2022
A common practical challenge is how to assign ability estimates to all incorrect and all correct response patterns when using item response theory (IRT) models and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) since ability estimates for these types of responses equal -8 or +8. This article uses a simulation study and data from an operational K-12…
