Novak, Josip; Rebernjak, Blaž – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to examine the performance of [alpha], [lambda]2, [lambda][subscript 4], [lambda][subscript 2], [omega][subscript T], GLB[subscript MRFA], and GLB[subscript Algebraic] coefficients. Population reliability, distribution shape, sample size, test length, and number of response categories were varied…

Kalkan, Ömür Kaya – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2022
The four-parameter logistic (4PL) Item Response Theory (IRT) model has recently been reconsidered in the literature due to the advances in the statistical modeling software and the recent developments in the estimation of the 4PL IRT model parameters. The current simulation study evaluated the performance of expectation-maximization (EM),…

Ames, Allison J.; Leventhal, Brian C.; Ezike, Nnamdi C. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
Data simulation and Monte Carlo simulation studies are important skills for researchers and practitioners of educational and psychological measurement, but there are few resources on the topic specific to item response theory. Even fewer resources exist on the statistical software techniques to implement simulation studies. This article presents…
