Using IRTree Models to Promote Selection Validity in the Presence of Extreme Response Styles
The measurement of psychological constructs is frequently based on self-report tests, which often have Likert-type items rated from “Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree”. Recently, a family of item response theory (IRT) models called IRTree models have

Polytomous Item Explanatory Item Response Theory Models [PDF]
This study investigates polytomous item explanatory item response theory models under the multivariate generalized linear mixed modeling framework, using the linear logistic test model approach. Building on the original ideas of the many-facet Rasch model and the linear partial credit model, a polytomous Rasch model is extended to the item location ...

Potential application of item-response theory to interpretation of medical codes in electronic patient records [PDF]
Background: electronic patient records are generally coded using extensive sets of codes but the significance of the utilisation of individual codes may be unclear. Item response theory (IRT) models are used to characterise the psychometric properties of

A Monte Carlo study of IRTree models’ ability to recover item parameters
Item response tree (IRTree) models are theorized to extract response styles from self-report data by utilizing multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models based on theoretical decision processes.
