BAYESIAN ITEM FIT ANALYSIS FOR DICHOTOMOUS ITEM RESPONSE THEORY MODELS [PDF]

ETS Research Report Series, 2003
ABSTRACTDetecting item fit for common dichotomous item response theory (IRT) models has always been an issue of enormous interest, but there exists no unanimously agreed upon item fit diagnostic for the models. This paper employs theposterior predictive model checkingmethod (Guttman, 1967; Rubin, 1981, 1984), a popular Bayesian model checking tool, to ...

A Conditional Item-Fit Index for Rasch Models [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 1994
A new item-fit index is proposed that is both a descriptive measure of deviance of single items and an index for statistical inference. This index is based on the assumptions of the dichotomous and polytomous Rasch models for items with ordered categories and, in particular, is a standardization of the conditional likelihood of the item pattern that ...
