Erdem-Kara, Basak; Dogan, Nuri – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
Recently, adaptive test approaches have become a viable alternative to traditional fixed-item tests. The main advantage of adaptive tests is that they reach desired measurement precision with fewer items. However, fewer items mean that each item has a more significant effect on ability estimation and therefore those tests are open to more…

Liu, Shuchang; Cai, Yan; Tu, Dongbo – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2018
This study applied the mode of on-the-fly assembled multistage adaptive testing to cognitive diagnosis (CD-OMST). Several and several module assembly methods for CD-OMST were proposed and compared in terms of measurement precision, test security, and constrain management. The module assembly methods in the study included the maximum priority index…

Sahin, Alper; Ozbasi, Durmus – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2017
Purpose: This study aims to reveal effects of content balancing and item selection method on ability estimation in computerized adaptive tests by comparing Fisher's maximum information (FMI) and likelihood weighted information (LWI) methods. Research Methods: Four groups of examinees (250, 500, 750, 1000) and a bank of 500 items with 10 different…

Leroux, Audrey J.; Dodd, Barbara G. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
The current study compares the progressive-restricted standard error (PR-SE) exposure control method with the Sympson-Hetter, randomesque, and no exposure control (maximum information) procedures using the generalized partial credit model with fixed- and variable-length CATs and two item pools. The PR-SE method administered the entire item pool…

Hout, Michael C.; Goldinger, Stephen D.; Ferguson, Ryan W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013
Although traditional methods to collect similarity data (for multidimensional scaling [MDS]) are robust, they share a key shortcoming. Specifically, the possible pairwise comparisons in any set of objects grow rapidly as a function of set size. This leads to lengthy experimental protocols, or procedures that involve scaling stimulus subsets. We…

Thompson, Nathan A. – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2011
Computerized classification testing (CCT) is an approach to designing tests with intelligent algorithms, similar to adaptive testing, but specifically designed for the purpose of classifying examinees into categories such as "pass" and "fail." Like adaptive testing for point estimation of ability, the key component is the…

Wang, LihShing; Li, Chun-Shan – Journal of Applied Measurement, 2001
Used Monte Carlo simulation to compare the relative measurement efficiency of polytomous modeling and dichotomous modeling under different scoring schemes and termination criteria. Results suggest that polytomous computerized adaptive testing (CAT) yields marginal gains over dichotomous CAT when termination criteria are more stringent. Discusses…

Chang, Shun-Wen; Twu, Bor-Yaun – 1998
This study investigated and compared the properties of five methods of item exposure control within the purview of estimating examinees' abilities in a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) context. Each of the exposure control algorithms was incorporated into the item selection procedure and the adaptive testing progressed based on the CAT design…

Nietfeld, John L.; Enders, Craig K; Schraw, Gregory – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Researchers studying monitoring accuracy currently use two different indexes to estimate accuracy: relative accuracy and absolute accuracy. The authors compared the distributional properties of two measures of monitoring accuracy using Monte Carlo procedures that fit within these categories. They manipulated the accuracy of judgments (i.e., chance…

Kirisci, Levent; Hsu, Tse-Chi – 1992
A predictive adaptive testing (PAT) strategy was developed based on statistical predictive analysis, and its feasibility was studied by comparing PAT performance to those of the Flexilevel, Bayesian modal, and expected a posteriori (EAP) strategies in a simulated environment. The proposed adaptive test is based on the idea of using item difficulty…
