Peer reviewedArmstrong, Ronald D.; And Others – Psychometrika, 1992
A method is presented and illustrated for simultaneously generating multiple tests with similar characteristics from the item bank by using binary programing techniques. The parallel tests are created to match an existing seed test item for item and to match user-supplied taxonomic specifications. (SLD)

Peer reviewedArmstrong, Ronald D.; Jones, Douglas H. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1992
Polynomial algorithms are presented that are used to solve selected problems in test theory, and computational results from sample problems with several hundred decision variables are provided that demonstrate the benefits of these algorithms. The algorithms are based on optimization theory in networks (graphs). (SLD)
