A Comparison of a Maximum Likelihood and a Bayesian Ability Estimation Procedure for Tailored Testing.

Rosso, Martin A.; Reckase, Mark D. – 1981

The overall purpose of this research was to compare a maximum likelihood based tailored testing procedure to a Bayesian tailored testing procedure. The results indicated that both tailored testing procedures produced equally reliable ability estimates. Also an analysis of test length indicated that reasonable ability estimates could be obtained…

Kirisci, Levent; Hsu, Tse-Chi – 1992

A predictive adaptive testing (PAT) strategy was developed based on statistical predictive analysis, and its feasibility was studied by comparing PAT performance to those of the Flexilevel, Bayesian modal, and expected a posteriori (EAP) strategies in a simulated environment. The proposed adaptive test is based on the idea of using item difficulty…
