Peer reviewedSykes, Robert C.; Yen, Wendy M. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2000
Investigated how well the generalized and Rasch models described item and test performance across a broad range of mixed-item-format test configurations (six tests from two state proficiency testing programs). Evaluating the impact of model assumptions on the predictions of item and test information permitted a delineation of the implications of…
