Sedat Sen; Allan S. Cohen – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to compare fit indices used for detecting the correct latent class in three dichotomous mixture item response theory (IRT) models. Ten indices were considered: Akaike's information criterion (AIC), the corrected AIC (AICc), Bayesian information criterion (BIC), consistent AIC (CAIC), Draper's…

Arikan, Serkan; Aybek, Eren Can – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2022
Many scholars compared various item discrimination indices in real or simulated data. Item discrimination indices, such as item-total correlation, item-rest correlation, and IRT item discrimination parameter, provide information about individual differences among all participants. However, there are tests that aim to select a very limited number…

Öztürk, Nagihan Boztunç – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2019
In this study, how the length and characteristics of routing module in different panel designs affect measurement precision is examined. In the scope of the study, six different routing module length, nine different routing module characteristics, and two different panel design are handled. At the end of the study, the effects of conditions on…

Baris Pekmezci, Fulya; Gulleroglu, H. Deniz – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2019
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the orthogonality assumption, which restricts the use of Bifactor item response theory under different conditions. Method: Data of the study have been obtained in accordance with the Bifactor model. It has been produced in accordance with two different models (Model 1 and Model 2) in a simulated way.…

Svetina, Dubravka; Levy, Roy – Journal of Experimental Education, 2016
This study investigated the effect of complex structure on dimensionality assessment in compensatory multidimensional item response models using DETECT- and NOHARM-based methods. The performance was evaluated via the accuracy of identifying the correct number of dimensions and the ability to accurately recover item groupings using a simple…

Sahin, Alper; Anil, Duygu – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2017
This study investigates the effects of sample size and test length on item-parameter estimation in test development utilizing three unidimensional dichotomous models of item response theory (IRT). For this purpose, a real language test comprised of 50 items was administered to 6,288 students. Data from this test was used to obtain data sets of…

Makransky, Guido; Dale, Philip S.; Havmose, Philip; Bleses, Dorthe – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2016
Purpose: This study investigated the feasibility and potential validity of an item response theory (IRT)-based computerized adaptive testing (CAT) version of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory: Words & Sentences (CDI:WS; Fenson et al., 2007) vocabulary checklist, with the objective of reducing length while maintaining…

Wang, Chun – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2014
Many latent traits in social sciences display a hierarchical structure, such as intelligence, cognitive ability, or personality. Usually a second-order factor is linearly related to a group of first-order factors (also called domain abilities in cognitive ability measures), and the first-order factors directly govern the actual item responses.…

Harrell-Williams, Leigh M.; Wolfe, Edward W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
Most research on confirmatory factor analysis using information-based fit indices (Akaike information criterion [AIC], Bayesian information criteria [BIC], bias-corrected AIC [AICc], and consistent AIC [CAIC]) has used a structural equation modeling framework. Minimal research has been done concerning application of these indices to item response…

Svetina, Dubravka – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of complex structure on dimensionality assessment in noncompensatory multidimensional item response models using dimensionality assessment procedures based on DETECT (dimensionality evaluation to enumerate contributing traits) and NOHARM (normal ogive harmonic analysis robust method). Five…

Wang, Chun – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2013
Cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing (CD-CAT) purports to combine the strengths of both CAT and cognitive diagnosis. Cognitive diagnosis models aim at classifying examinees into the correct mastery profile group so as to pinpoint the strengths and weakness of each examinee whereas CAT algorithms choose items to determine those…

Lee, Eunjung – ProQuest LLC, 2013
The purpose of this research was to compare the equating performance of various equating procedures for the multidimensional tests. To examine the various equating procedures, simulated data sets were used that were generated based on a multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) framework. Various equating procedures were examined, including…

Shin, Chingwei David; Chien, Yuehmei; Way, Walter Denny – Pearson, 2012
Content balancing is one of the most important components in the computerized adaptive testing (CAT) especially in the K to 12 large scale tests that complex constraint structure is required to cover a broad spectrum of content. The purpose of this study is to compare the weighted penalty model (WPM) and the weighted deviation method (WDM) under…

Fu, Qiong – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This research investigated how the accuracy of person ability and item difficulty parameter estimation varied across five IRT models with respect to the presence of guessing, targeting, and varied combinations of sample sizes and test lengths. The data were simulated with 50 replications under each of the 18 combined conditions. Five IRT models…
