A Comparative Study of Item Response Theory Models for Mixed Discrete-Continuous Responses
Journal of IntelligenceLanguage proficiency assessments are pivotal in educational and professional decision-making. With the integration of AI-driven technologies, these assessments can more frequently use item types, such as dictation tasks, producing response features with ...

The Effect of Proportion Common Item's with Mixed Format Test on Multidimensional Item Response Theory Linking [PDF]
Procedia, Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012 AbstractNumerous assessments contain a mixture of multiple choice and constructed response item types, which are found to measure more than one trait. Thus, there is a need for multidimensional dichotomous and polytomous item response theory modeling solutions, including multidimensional linking scores.

Normative Data for Learning and Memory Test (TAMV-I) in Latin American and Spanish Children: An item response theory and linear mixed models approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONERobust normative data for pediatric learning and memory tests in Spanish-speaking populations are scarce, and existing approaches often rely on univariate methods that overlook item-level properties and inter-trial dependencies.

The Academic Medical Center Linear Disability Score (ALDS) item bank: item response theory analysis in a mixed patient population [PDF]
Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2005 Background Currently, there is a lot of interest in the flexible framework offered by item banks for measuring patient relevant outcomes. However, there are few item banks, which have been developed to quantify functional status, as expressed by the ...

Classification accuracy of mixed format tests: A bi-factor approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Mixed format tests (e.g., a test consisting of multiple-choice [MC] items and constructed response [CR] items) have become increasingly popular. However, the latent structure of item pools consisting of the two formats is still equivocal.

Practical Consequences of Item Response Theory Model Misfit in the Context of Test Equating with Mixed-Format Test Data [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 In item response theory (IRT) models, assessing model-data fit is an essential step in IRT calibration. While no general agreement has ever been reached on the best methods or approaches to use for detecting misfit, perhaps the more important comment based upon the research findings is that rarely does the research evaluate IRT misfit by focusing on ...

Automated Essay Scoring Effect on Test Equating Errors in Mixed-format Test
International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021 Scoring constructed-response items can be highly difficult, time-consuming, and costly in practice. Improvements in computer technology have enabled automated scoring of constructed-response items. However, the application of automated scoring without an

Efficiency Analysis of Item Response Theory Kernel Equating for Mixed-Format Tests
Applied Psychological Measurement, 2023 This study aims to evaluate the performance of Item Response Theory (IRT) kernel equating in the context of mixed-format tests by comparing it to IRT observed score equating and kernel equating with log-linear presmoothing. Comparisons were made through both simulations and real data applications, under both equivalent groups (EG) and non-equivalent ...

A nonlinear mixed model framework for item response theory. [PDF]
Psychological Methods, 2003 Mixed models take the dependency between observations based on the same cluster into account by introducing 1 or more random effects. Common item response theory (IRT) models introduce latent person variables to model the dependence between responses of the same participant.

Rheumatoid arthritis, item response theory, Blom transformation, and mixed models [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2007 We studied rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium (NARAC) data (1499 subjects; 757 families). Identical methods were applied for studying RA in the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15 (GAW15) simulated data (with a prior knowledge of the simulation answers).
