Assessment of Person Fit for Mixed-Format Tests

Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2015
Person-fit assessment may help the researcher to obtain additional information regarding the answering behavior of persons. Although several researchers examined person fit, there is a lack of research on person-fit assessment for mixed-format tests. In this article, the l z statistic and the

Linking Mixed-Format Tests Using Multiple-Choice Anchors

ETS Research Report Series, 2010
ABSTRACTThis study examined the use of an all multiple‐choice (MC) anchor for linking mixed format tests containing both MC and constructed‐response (CR) items, in a nonequivalent groups design. An MC‐only anchor could effectively link two such test forms if either (a) the MC and CR portions of the test measured the same construct, so that the MC ...

Contextual Collaborative Filtering for Student Response Prediction in Mixed-Format Tests

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2018
The purpose of this study is to design a machine learning approach to predict the student response in mixed-format tests. Particularly, a novel contextual collaborative filtering model is proposed to extract latent factors for students and test items, by exploiting the item information. Empirical results from a simulation study validate

Evaluating Statistical Targets for Assembling Parallel Mixed‐Format Test Forms

Journal of Educational Measurement, 2017
Test assembly is the process of selecting items from an item pool to form one or more new test forms. Often new test forms are constructed to be parallel with an existing (or an ideal) test. Within the context of item response theory, the test information function (TIF) or the test characteristic curve (TCC) are commonly used as statistical targets to ...

Exploring the effectiveness of intersectional routing for multistage testing with mixed-format tests

Korean Society for Educational Evaluation
Multistage testing among several adaptive testing types has been more frequently applied into practice because it can accurately and efficiently estimate abilities with relatively short tests. However, it has been also criticized due to its low level of adaptability.

The Performance of IRT Model Selection Methods With Mixed-Format Tests

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2012
When tests consist of multiple-choice and constructed-response items, researchers are confronted with the question of which item response theory (IRT) model combination will appropriately represent the data collected from these mixed-format tests. This simulation study examined the performance of six model selection criteria, including the likelihood ...

A Comparison of Common IRT Model-Selection Methods With Mixed-Format Tests

Measurement, 2021
To date, only frequentist model-selection methods have been studied with mixed-format data in the context of IRT model-selection, and it is unknown how popular Bayesian model-selection methods such...

The Long‐Term Sustainability of IRT Scaling Methods in Mixed‐Format Tests

Journal of Educational Measurement, 2013
Due to recent research in equating methodologies indicating that some methods may be more susceptible to the accumulation of equating error over multiple administrations, the sustainability of several item response theory methods of equating over time was investigated. In particular, the paper is focused on two equating methodologies: fixed common item

Robustness to Format Effects of IRT Linking Methods for Mixed-Format Tests

Applied Measurement in Education, 2006
Four item response theory linking methods (2 moment methods and 2 characteristic curve methods) were compared to concurrent (CO) calibration with the focus on the degree of robustness to format effects (FEs) when applying the methods to multidimensional data that reflected the FEs associated with mixed-format tests.

An Empirical Investigation of Methods for Assessing Item Fit for Mixed Format Tests

Applied Measurement in Education, 2013
Empirical information regarding performance of model-fit procedures has been a persistent need in measurement practice. Statistical procedures for evaluating item fit were applied to real test examples that consist of both dichotomously and polytomously scored items.
