Chalmers, R. Philip; Zheng, Guoguo – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
This article presents generalizations of SIBTEST and crossing-SIBTEST statistics for differential item functioning (DIF) investigations involving more than two groups. After reviewing the original two-group setup for these statistics, a set of multigroup generalizations that support contrast matrices for joint tests of DIF are presented. To…

Soysal, Sümeyra – Participatory Educational Research, 2023
Applying a measurement instrument developed in a specific country to other countries raise a critical and important question of interest in especially cross-cultural studies. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is the most preferred and used method to examine the cross-cultural applicability of measurement tools. Although CFA is a sophisticated…

Clauser, Brian E.; Kane, Michael; Clauser, Jerome C. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2020
An Angoff standard setting study generally yields judgments on a number of items by a number of judges (who may or may not be nested in panels). Variability associated with judges (and possibly panels) contributes error to the resulting cut score. The variability associated with items plays a more complicated role. To the extent that the mean item…

Chengyu Cui; Chun Wang; Gongjun Xu – Grantee Submission, 2024
Multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) models have generated increasing interest in the psychometrics literature. Efficient approaches for estimating MIRT models with dichotomous responses have been developed, but constructing an equally efficient and robust algorithm for polytomous models has received limited attention. To address this gap,…

Leventhal, Brian – ProQuest LLC, 2017
More robust and rigorous psychometric models, such as multidimensional Item Response Theory models, have been advocated for survey applications. However, item responses may be influenced by construct-irrelevant variance factors such as preferences for extreme response options. Through empirical and simulation methods, this study evaluates the use…

Lee, Guemin; Lewis, Daniel M. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2008
The bookmark standard-setting procedure is an item response theory-based method that is widely implemented in state testing programs. This study estimates standard errors for cut scores resulting from bookmark standard settings under a generalizability theory model and investigates the effects of different universes of generalization and error…

Emons, Wilco H. M. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
Person-fit methods are used to uncover atypical test performance as reflected in the pattern of scores on individual items in a test. Unlike parametric person-fit statistics, nonparametric person-fit statistics do not require fitting a parametric test theory model. This study investigates the effectiveness of generalizations of nonparametric…

Wang, Wen-Chung; Liu, Chih-Yu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2007
In this study, the authors develop a generalized multilevel facets model, which is not only a multilevel and two-parameter generalization of the facets model, but also a multilevel and facet generalization of the generalized partial credit model. Because the new model is formulated within a framework of nonlinear mixed models, no efforts are…

Finch, Holmes; Monahan, Patrick – Applied Measurement in Education, 2008
This article introduces a bootstrap generalization to the Modified Parallel Analysis (MPA) method of test dimensionality assessment using factor analysis. This methodology, based on the use of Marginal Maximum Likelihood nonlinear factor analysis, provides for the calculation of a test statistic based on a parametric bootstrap using the MPA…
