Zhang, Jinming – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2012
It is common to assume during a statistical analysis of a multiscale assessment that the assessment is composed of several unidimensional subtests or that it has simple structure. Under this assumption, the unidimensional and multidimensional approaches can be used to estimate item parameters. These two approaches are equivalent in parameter…

Gu, Fei; Skorupski, William P.; Hoyle, Larry; Kingston, Neal M. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2011
Ramsay-curve item response theory (RC-IRT) is a nonparametric procedure that estimates the latent trait using splines, and no distributional assumption about the latent trait is required. For item parameters of the two-parameter logistic (2-PL), three-parameter logistic (3-PL), and polytomous IRT models, RC-IRT can provide more accurate estimates…

de la Torre, Jimmy; Hong, Yuan – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2010
Sample size ranks as one of the most important factors that affect the item calibration task. However, due to practical concerns (e.g., item exposure) items are typically calibrated with much smaller samples than what is desired. To address the need for a more flexible framework that can be used in small sample item calibration, this article…

de la Torre, Jimmy; Song, Hao – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2009
Assessments consisting of different domains (e.g., content areas, objectives) are typically multidimensional in nature but are commonly assumed to be unidimensional for estimation purposes. The different domains of these assessments are further treated as multi-unidimensional tests for the purpose of obtaining diagnostic information. However, when…

de la Torre, Jimmy – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
Recent work has shown that multidimensionally scoring responses from different tests can provide better ability estimates. For educational assessment data, applications of this approach have been limited to binary scores. Of the different variants, the de la Torre and Patz model is considered more general because implementing the scoring procedure…

Greener, Jack M.; Osburn, H. G. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
A correction procedure for estimating correlation coefficients when faced with the problem of a restricted range in the variables due to an explicit selection procedure was empirically investigated. Results indicated that the assumption of linearity is critical, but that homoscedasticity is less important. (JKS)

McFatter, Robert M. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
The usual interpretation of suppressor effects in a multiple regression equation assumes that the correlations among variables have been generated by a particular structural model. How such a regression equation is interpreted is shown to be dependent on the structural model deemed appropriate. (Author/JKS)
