ABSTRACTFew would doubt that ETS researchers have contributed more to the general topic of item response theory (IRT) than individuals from any other institution. In this report, we briefly review most of those contributions, dividing them into sections by decades of publication, beginning with early work by Fred Lord and Bert Green in the 1950s and ...

Recommendation with item response theory
Abstract A popular approach to recommender systems is to factor the ratingmatrix into two low rank matrices. Although this has proven to be agood way to predict ratings, the component scores in these matrix fac-torisation methods don’t serve as estimates of the underlying causesof the ratings. We propose to model the rating matrix using Multidi-

Allostatic load scoring using item response theory
Allostatic load is commonly operationalized using a sum-score of high-risk biomarkers. However, this method implies that biomarkers contribute equally to allostatic load, as each is given equal weight. Our goal in this methodological paper is to evaluate
