Lissitz, Robert W.; Hou, Xiaodong; Slater, Sharon Cadman – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2012
This article investigates several questions regarding the impact of different item formats on measurement characteristics. Constructed response (CR) items and multiple choice (MC) items obviously differ in their formats and in the resources needed to score them. As such, they have been the subject of considerable discussion regarding the impact of…

Peer reviewedBerk, Ronald A. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1980
A dozen different approaches that yield 13 reliability indices for criterion-referenced tests were identified and grouped into three categories: threshold loss function, squared-error loss function, and domain score estimation. Indices were evaluated within each category. (Author/RL)

Peer reviewedWoodruff, David J.; Sawyer, Richard L. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1989
Two methods--non-distributional and normal--are derived for estimating measures of pass-fail reliability. Both are based on the Spearman Brown formula and require only a single test administration. Results from a simulation (n=20,000 examinees) and a licensure examination (n=4,828 examinees) illustrate these methods. (SLD)
