Peer reviewedSwanson, Len; Stocking, Martha L. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1993
A model for solving very large item selection problems is presented. The model builds on binary programming applied to test construction. A heuristic for selecting items that satisfy the constraints in the model is also presented, and various problems are solved using the model and heuristic. (SLD)
