Item Response Theory Model for Understanding Item Non- Response in Ghanaian Surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper explores four Item Response Theory (IRT) models to determine the most appropriate forunderstanding item non-response. The selected IRT model was used to identify among five categories of surveyquestions, the most difficult to answer by ...

Doing less but getting more: Improving forced-choice measures with Item Response Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Forced-choice tests, despite being resistant to response biases and showing good operational validities, have psychometric problems if scored traditionally. These questionnaires are generally longer than their normative counterparts, and more cognitively

Modeling Composite Assessment Data Using Item Response Theory

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2018
Composite assessments aim to combine different aspects of a disease in a single score and are utilized in a variety of therapeutic areas. The data arising from these evaluations are inherently discrete with distinct statistical properties.

Contributions to Mokken's nonparametric item response theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
In this study, the item response models proposed by Mokken (1971) are discussed, and further developed. In these item response models the relation between observable response behavior on an item and latent characteristics of persons and items is ...

Nonlinear sequential designs for logistic item response theory models with applications to computerized adaptive tests

open access: yes, 2009
Computerized adaptive testing is becoming increasingly popular due to advancement of modern computer technology. It differs from the conventional standardized testing in that the selection of test items is tailored to individual examinee's ability level.
