Efficiency Analysis of Item Response Theory Kernel Equating for Mixed-Format Tests

open access: yesApplied 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]

open access: yesPsychological 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.

Item Response Theory Models for Wording Effects in Mixed-Format Scales [PDF]

open access: yesEducational and Psychological Measurement, 2014
Many scales contain both positively and negatively worded items. Reverse recoding of negatively worded items might not be enough for them to function as positively worded items do. In this study, we commented on the drawbacks of existing approaches to wording effect in mixed-format scales and used bi-factor item response theory (IRT) models to test ...
