Applying a Mixture Rasch Model‐Based Approach to Standard Setting

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2023
AbstractThe subjective aspect of standard‐setting is often criticized, yet data‐driven standard‐setting methods are rarely applied. Therefore, we applied a mixture Rasch model approach to setting performance standards across several testing programs of various sizes and compared the results to existing passing standards derived from traditional ...

Mixture Rasch Models With Joint Maximum Likelihood Estimation

open access: yesEducational and Psychological Measurement, 2010
This research provides a demonstration of the utility of mixture Rasch models. Specifically, a model capable of estimating a mixture partial credit model using joint maximum likelihood is presented. Like the partial credit model, the mixture partial credit model has the beneficial feature of being appropriate for analysis of assessment data containing ...

Estimation of Mixture Rasch Models from Skewed Latent Ability Distributions

Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2020
Mixture Rasch (MixRasch) models conventionally assume normal distributions for latent ability. Previous research has shown that the assumption of normality is often unmet in educational and psychol...

A Mixture Rasch Model With Item Response Time Components

open access: yesApplied Psychological Measurement, 2010
An examinee faced with a test item will engage in solution behavior or rapid-guessing behavior. These qualitatively different test-taking behaviors bias parameter estimates for item response models that do not control for such behavior. A mixture Rasch model with item response time components was proposed and evaluated through application to real test ...

A Person-Fit Index for Polytomous Rasch Models, Latent Class Models, and Their Mixture Generalizations

Psychometrika, 2003
A normally distributed person-fit index is proposed for detecting aberrant response patterns in latent class models and mixture distribution IRT models for dichotomous and polytomous data.This article extends previous work on the null distribution of person-fit indices for the dichotomous Rasch model to a number of models for categorical data.

A Mixture Rasch Model–Based Computerized Adaptive Test for Latent Class Identification

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2012
This study explored a computerized adaptive test delivery algorithm for latent class identification based on the mixture Rasch model. Four item selection methods based on the Kullback–Leibler (KL) information were proposed and compared with the reversed and the adaptive KL information under simulated testing conditions.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO COVARIATE INCLUSION IN THE MIXTURE RASCH MODEL [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The present dissertation project investigates different approaches to adding covariates and the impact in fitting mixture item response theory (IRT) models. Mixture IRT models serve as an important methodology for tackling several important psychometric issues in test development, including detecting latent differential item functioning (DIF).

A mixture Rasch facets model for rater’s illusory halo effects

Behavior Research Methods, 2022
A rater's overall impression of a ratee's essay (or other assessment) can influence ratings on multiple criteria to yield excessively similar ratings (halo effect). However, existing analytic methods fail to identify whether similar ratings stem from homogeneous criteria (true halo) or rater bias (illusory halo).

Mixture Distribution Rasch Models

1995
This chapter deals with the generalization of the Rasch model to a discrete mixture distribution model. Its basic assumption is that the Rasch model holds within subpopulations of individuals, but with different parameter values in each subgroup. These subpopulations are not defined by manifest indicators, rather they have to be identified by applying ...
