A comparison of kernel equating and IRT true score equating methods [PDF]
"This two-part study investigates 1) the impact of loglinear model selection in pre-smoothing observed score distributions on the kernel method of test equating and 2) the differences between kernel equating, chained equipercentile equating, and true ...

Optimal Bandwidth Selection in Observed-Score Kernel Equating
The selection of bandwidth in kernel equating is important because it has a direct impact on the equated test scores. The aim of this article is to examine the use of double smoothing when selecting bandwidths in kernel equating and to compare double ...

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Applying Test Equating Methods
This book describes how to use test equating methods in practice. The non-commercial software R is used throughout the book to illustrate how to perform different equating methods when scores data are collected under different data collection designs ...

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

On an integral equation with a bessel function kernel
The author obtains the solution of the integral equation \(g(x)=\int^{\infty}_{0}J^ 2_ x(y)f(y)dy,\) where g(x) is a known function, \(J_ x(y)\) is the Bessel function of order x and f(y) is the unknown function. The solution obtained is: \[ f(y)=y\int^{\infty}_{0}\tau J_ 0(y\tau)\{\int^{\infty}_{0}G(x)\cos xt dx\}d\tau,\quad y\geq 0, \] where \(\tau ...
