van der Linden, Wim J.; Scrams, David J.; Schnipke, Deborah L. – 2003
This paper proposes an item selection algorithm that can be used to neutralize the effect of time limits in computer adaptive testing. The method is based on a statistical model for the response-time distributions of the test takers on the items in the pool that is updated each time a new item has been administered. Predictions from the model are…

van der Linden, Wim J.; Scrams, David J.; Schnipke, Deborah L. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1999
Proposes an item-selection algorithm for neutralizing the differential effects of time limits on computerized adaptive test scores. Uses a statistical model for distributions of examinees' response times on items in a bank that is updated each time an item is administered. Demonstrates the method using an item bank from the Armed Services…
