Peer reviewedSchnipke, Deborah L.; Green, Bert F. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1995
Two item selection algorithms, one based on maximal differentiation between examinees and one based on item response theory and maximum information for each examinee, were compared in simulated linear and adaptive tests of cognitive ability. Adaptive tests based on maximum information were clearly superior. (SLD)

Peer reviewedFrants, Valery I.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1993
Discusses the design of multiversion information retrieval systems and provides a theoretical justification for the necessity of creating such systems to perform an optimal search for the user's information needs. Topics discussed include comparing query formulations; feedback algorithms; an experiment with a test collection; and the mechanism of…
