Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Damrongpanit, Suntonrapot – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2019
The purposes of this study were to test the structural validity and to test the parameters invariance of the self-discipline measurement model for good student citizenship among the models, using the data from the 1,047 complete questionnaires and the reducing length questionnaires with multiple matrix sampling technique. The sample size of this…

Mixture IRT Model with a Higher-Order Structure for Latent Traits
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Huang, Hung-Yu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2017
Mixture item response theory (IRT) models have been suggested as an efficient method of detecting the different response patterns derived from latent classes when developing a test. In testing situations, multiple latent traits measured by a battery of tests can exhibit a higher-order structure, and mixtures of latent classes may occur on…

Atalay Kabasakal, Kübra; Arsan, Nihan; Gök, Bilge; Kelecioglu, Hülya – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2014
This simulation study compared the performances (Type I error and power) of Mantel-Haenszel (MH), SIBTEST, and item response theory-likelihood ratio (IRT-LR) methods under certain conditions. Manipulated factors were sample size, ability differences between groups, test length, the percentage of differential item functioning (DIF), and underlying…

Multidimensional Test Assembly Based on Lagrangian Relaxation Techniques. Research Report 98-08.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Veldkamp, Bernard P. – 1998
In this paper, a mathematical programming approach is presented for the assembly of ability tests measuring multiple traits. The values of the variance functions of the estimators of the traits are minimized, while test specifications are met. The approach is based on Lagrangian relaxation techniques and provides good results for the two…
