Evolutionary Dynamic Multiobjective Optimisation Assisted by Inverse Regression Tree Predictor

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dynamic multiobjective optimisation problems (DMOPs) are optimisation problems with multiple conflicting objectives that can change over time. Most dynamic multiobjective optimisation evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) attempt to estimate Pareto‐optimal sets (PS) directly in the decision space.

Calculation of fuel burnup and radionuclide inventory for the HEU and potential LEU fuels in the IRT research reactor

Results in Physics, 2018
The study of core conversion of the IRT research reactor from the HEU to LEU fuels has been conducted in this paper. Fuel burnup, buildup of actinides and fission product inventory for the IRT research reactor with UO2-Al dispersion fuel for the various ...

Measuring Teamwork Competencies Cross‐Culturally Through Computerized Adaptive Testing: Implications for Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the psychometric properties of a Computerized Adaptive Test for Measuring Teamwork Competencies (CAT‐TWC). Using item response theory and a multicultural team framework, we examine the dimensionality, precision, and measurement invariance of the measures obtained with the CAT‐TWC in a first study with participants from ...

Optimal Job Design and Information Elicitation

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When managers rely on their subordinates for local information but cannot commit to how such information is used, the incentives for effort and information elicitation become intertwined. This incentive problem influences the firm's job design decision, that is, whether to assign all tasks in a job to one worker (“individual assignment”) or ...

Revisiting educational assumptions: The surprising negative link between creative extracurricular activities and creative thinking in PISA 2022

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While skill development is generally linked to relevant practice, the 2022 PISA creative thinking report revealed a negative association between students' creative thinking performance and their engagement in creative activities. Aims This study explored whether this negative association was linear, persisted across countries and ...

Identification of Relationships between Heat Treatment and Fatigue Crack Growth of αβ Titanium Alloys

Metals, 2019
This study deals with the influence of microstructure on the fatigue crack growth resistance of αβ titanium alloys: Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) that may compete with the conventional Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the manufacture of high ...

Investigating dynamics in attentive and inattentive responding together with their contextual correlates using a novel mixture IRT model for intensive longitudinal data

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In ecological momentary assessment (EMA), respondents answer brief questionnaires about their current behaviours or experiences several times per day across multiple days. The frequent measurement enables a thorough grasp of the dynamics inherent in psychological constructs, but it also increases respondent burden.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model
