Potential application of item-response theory to interpretation of medical codes in electronic patient records [PDF]
, 2011 Background: electronic patient records are generally coded using extensive sets of codes but the significance of the utilisation of individual codes may be unclear. Item response theory (IRT) models are used to characterise the psychometric properties of

Item Response Models for Forced-Choice Questionnaires: A Common Framework [PDF]
, 2016 In forced-choice questionnaires, respondents have to make choices between two or more items presented at the same time. Several IRT models have been developed to link respondent choices to underlying psychological attributes, including the recent MUPP ...

Multidimensional item response theory and the force and motion conceptual evaluation
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019 Many studies have examined the structure and properties of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI); however, far less research has investigated the Force and Motion Conceptual Evaluation (FMCE).

“Use the Force!” Adaptation of Response Formats
Psychological Test Adaptation and Development, 2023 . The present paper features the adaptation of an existing Big Five questionnaire with a rating scale (RS) response format into a measure using a multidimensional forced choice (MFC) response format. Rating scale response formats have been criticized for

How IRT can solve problems of ipsative data in forced-choice questionnaires [PDF]
, 2013 In multidimensional forced-choice (MFC) questionnaires, items measuring different attributes are presented in blocks, and participants have to rank-order the items within each block (fully or partially).

ON MULTIDIMENSIONAL ITEM RESPONSE THEORY: A COORDINATE‐FREE APPROACH [PDF]
ETS Research Report Series, 2007 ABSTRACTA coordinate‐free definition of complex‐structure multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) for dichotomously scored items is presented. The point of view taken emphasizes the possibilities and subtleties of understanding MIRT as a multidimensional extension of the classical unidimensional item response theory models. The main theorem of the

Multidimensional Item Response Theory and the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Quantitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] While many studies have examined the structure, validity, and reliability of the Force Concept Inventory, far less research has been performed on other

Multidimensional Componential Item Response Theory Models for Polytomous Items [PDF]
Applied Psychological Measurement, 2001 A framework for modeling componential data using item response theory models for polytomous items is presented. This framework models response accuracies on complex cognitive tasks, which are decomposed in terms of more basic elements (components), such as knowledge structures, cognitive processes, and strategies.
