Jean-Paul Fox – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2025
Popular item response theory (IRT) models are considered complex, mainly due to the inclusion of a random factor variable (latent variable). The random factor variable represents the incidental parameter problem since the number of parameters increases when including data of new persons. Therefore, IRT models require a specific estimation method…

David Arthur; Hua-Hua Chang – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are the assessment tools that provide valuable formative feedback about skill mastery at both the individual and population level. Recent work has explored the performance of CDMs with small sample sizes but has focused solely on the estimates of individual profiles. The current research focuses on obtaining…

Mostafa Hosseinzadeh; Ki Lynn Matlock Cole – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
In real-world situations, multidimensional data may appear on large-scale tests or psychological surveys. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the quantity and magnitude of cross-loadings and model specification on item parameter recovery in multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) models, especially when the model was…

Kalkan, Ömür Kaya – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2022
The four-parameter logistic (4PL) Item Response Theory (IRT) model has recently been reconsidered in the literature due to the advances in the statistical modeling software and the recent developments in the estimation of the 4PL IRT model parameters. The current simulation study evaluated the performance of expectation-maximization (EM),…

Thakur, Khusbu; Kumar, Vinit – New Review of Academic Librarianship, 2022
A vast amount of published scholarly literature is generated every day. Today, it is one of the biggest challenges for organisations to extract knowledge embedded in published scholarly literature for business and research applications. Application of text mining is gaining popularity among researchers and applications are growing exponentially in…

Robert H. Kosar – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Principal component analysis is an important statistical technique for dimension reduction and exploratory data analysis. However, it is not robust to outliers and may obfuscate important data structure such as clustering. We propose a version of principal component analysis based on the robust L2E method. The technique seeks to find the principal…

Clauser, Brian E.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1995
A scoring algorithm for performance assessments is described that is based on expert judgments but requires the rating of only a sample of performances. A regression-based policy capturing procedure was implemented for clinicians evaluating skills of 280 medical students. Results demonstrate the usefulness of the algorithm. (SLD)
