Item Response Models in Psychometrika and Psychometric Textbooks

Frontiers in Education, 2020
Item response theory modeling articles from 83 years of Psychometrika are sorted based on the taxonomy by Thissen and Steinberg (1986). Results from 377 research and review articles indicate that the usual unidimensional parametric item response theory ...

Detecting Differential Item Functioning in 2PL Multistage Assessments

Psych, 2023
The detection of differential item functioning is crucial for the psychometric evaluation of multistage tests. This paper discusses five approaches presented in the literature: logistic regression, SIBTEST, analytical score-based tests, bootstrap score ...

Estimating learners' vocabulary size under item response theory

Vocabulary Learning and Instruction, 2014
Perhaps the most qualitatively interpretable vocabulary test score is an estimate of the total number of words the learner knows in the tested domain, such as a frequency word list, or vocabulary taught as part of a course curriculum.
