Direct linkCohen, Jon; Chan, Tsze; Jiang, Tao; Seburn, Mary – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
U.S. state educational testing programs administer tests to track student progress and hold schools accountable for educational outcomes. Methods from item response theory, especially Rasch models, are usually used to equate different forms of a test. The most popular method for estimating Rasch models yields inconsistent estimates and relies on…

Wells, Craig S.; Bolt, Daniel M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2008
Tests of model misfit are often performed to validate the use of a particular model in item response theory. Douglas and Cohen (2001) introduced a general nonparametric approach for detecting misfit under the two-parameter logistic model. However, the statistical properties of their approach, and empirical comparisons to other methods, have not…
