Accuracy and Variability of Item Parameter Estimates from Marginal Maximum a Posteriori Estimation and Bayesian Inference via Gibbs Samplers
Direct linkDirect link
Wu, Yi-Fang – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Item response theory (IRT) uses a family of statistical models for estimating stable characteristics of items and examinees and defining how these characteristics interact in describing item and test performance. With a focus on the three-parameter logistic IRT (Birnbaum, 1968; Lord, 1980) model, the current study examines the accuracy and…

Bi-Factor Multidimensional Item Response Theory Modeling for Subscores Estimation, Reliability, and Classification
Direct linkDirect link
Md Desa, Zairul Nor Deana – ProQuest LLC, 2012
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in estimating and improving subscore reliability. In this study, the multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) and the bi-factor model were combined to estimate subscores, to obtain subscores reliability, and subscores classification. Both the compensatory and partially compensatory MIRT…

Oranje, Andreas; Li, Deping; Kandathil, Mathew – ETS Research Report Series, 2009
Several complex sample standard error estimators based on linearization and resampling for the latent regression model of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are studied with respect to design choices such as number of items, number of regressors, and the efficiency of the sample. This paper provides an evaluation of the extent…
