Paradoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory

Psychometrika, 2009
In multidimensional item response theory (MIRT), it is possible for the estimate of a subject’s ability in some dimension to decrease after they have answered a question correctly. This paper investigates how and when this type of paradoxical result can occur.

Generalizations of Paradoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory

open access: yesPsychometrika, 2012
Maximum likelihood and Bayesian ability estimation in multidimensional item response models can lead to paradoxical results as proven by Hooker, Finkelman, and Schwartzman (Psychometrika 74(3): 419–442, 2009): Changing a correct response on one item into an incorrect response may produce a higher ability estimate in one dimension.

General Ability Measurement: An Application of Multidimensional Item Response Theory

open access: yesPsychometrika, 2001
Two new methods for improving the measurement precision of a general test factor are proposed and evaluated. One new method provides a multidimensional item response theory estimate obtained from conventional administrations of multiple-choice test items that span general and nuisance dimensions.

Multidimensional Item Response Theory

open access: yes, 2020
"Several decades of psychometric research have led to the development of sophisticated models for multidimensional test data, and in recent years, multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) has become a burgeoning topic in psychological and educational

The Measurement of Subjective Well-Being: Item Response Theory, Classical Test Theory, and Multidimensional Item Response Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
For over 35 years, modern science has conceptualized happiness as subjective well-being, which has until recently been understood as a dual construct consisting of an affective component (positive and negative affect) and a cognitive component (life satisfaction).

Mixed Compensation Multidimensional Item Response Theory

2020
Computerized Assisted Testing (CAT) has supported the development of numerous adaptive testing approaches. Such approach as Item Response Theory (IRT) estimates a student’s competency level by modeling a test as a function of the individual’s knowledge ability, and the parameters of the question (i.e. item). Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT)
