Peer reviewedSegall, Daniel O. – Psychometrika, 2001
Proposed and evaluated two new methods of improving the measurement precision of a general test factor. One provides a multidimensional item response theory estimate based on administrations of multiple-choice test items that span general and nuisance dimensions, and the other chooses items adaptively to maximize the precision of the general…

Two new methods for improving the measurement precision of a general test factor are proposed and evaluated. One new method provides a multidimensional item response theory estimate obtained from conventional administrations of multiple-choice test items that span general and nuisance dimensions. The other method chooses items adaptively to…

Bayroff, A.G.; And Others – 1974
This report describes an automated system for administering, scoring, and recording results of multiple-choice tests. The system consists of examinee station, proctor station, and central computer; the report describes the equipment and the programing characteristics of the respective components. The system is designed for tests tailored to the…

The Effect of Item Choice on Ability Estimation When Using a Simple Logistic Tailored Testing Model.
Reckase, Mark D. – 1975
This paper explores the effects of item choice on ability estimation when using a tailored testing procedure based on the Rasch simple logistic model. Most studies of the simple logistic model imply that ability estimates are totally independent of the items used, regardless of the testing procedure. This paper shows that the ability estimate is…

Reckase, Mark D. – 1974
An application of the two-paramenter logistic (Rasch) model to tailored testing is presented. The model is discussed along with the maximum likelihood estimation of the ability parameters given the response pattern and easiness parameter estimates for the items. The technique has been programmed for use with an interactive computer terminal. Use…

Twenty multiple-choice vocabulary items and 20 free-response vocabulary items were administered to 660 college students. The free-response items consisted of the stem words of the multiple-choice items. Testees were asked to respond to the free-response items with synonyms. A computer algorithm was developed to transform the numerous…
