Bayesian adaptive testing with polytomous items [PDF]
Behaviormetrika, 2020 AbstractAn extremely efficient MCMC method for Bayesian adaptive testing with polytomous items is explained both conceptually and in mathematical detail. Results from extensive simulation studies with different item pools, polytomous response models, calibration sample sizes, and test lengths are presented.

Dimensionality assessment of ordered polytomous items with parallel analysis.
Psychological Methods, 2011 Parallel analysis (PA) is an often-recommended approach for assessment of the dimensionality of a variable set. PA is known in different variants, which may yield different dimensionality indications. In this article, the authors considered the most appropriate PA procedure to assess the number of common factors underlying ordered polytomously scored ...

Regularized Generalized Logistic Item Response Model
Information, 2023 Item response theory (IRT) models are factor models for dichotomous or polytomous variables (i.e., item responses). The symmetric logistic or probit link functions are most frequently utilized for modeling dichotomous or polytomous items. In this article,

Comparison of confirmatory factor analysis estimation methods on mixed-format data
International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2021 Weighted least squares (WLS), weighted least squares mean-and-variance-adjusted (WLSMV), unweighted least squares mean-and-variance-adjusted (ULSMV), maximum likelihood (ML), robust maximum likelihood (MLR) and Bayesian estimation methods were compared ...

Polytomous Item Explanatory Item Response Theory Models [PDF]
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019 This study investigates polytomous item explanatory item response theory models under the multivariate generalized linear mixed modeling framework, using the linear logistic test model approach. Building on the original ideas of the many-facet Rasch model and the linear partial credit model, a polytomous Rasch model is extended to the item location ...

Investigating an Invariant Item Ordering for Polytomously Scored Items [PDF]
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2010 This article discusses the concept of an invariant item ordering (IIO) for polytomously scored items and proposes methods for investigating an IIO in real test data. Method manifest IIO is proposed for assessing whether item response functions intersect. Coefficient HT is defined for polytomously scored items.

Detection of Differential Item Functioning Magnitude in Psychological Measurement with Missing Data
Journal of Computer Adaptive Testing in Africa, 2022 The paper investigated the effectiveness of missing data methods in detecting differential item functioning magnitude in polytomous scored non-cognitive items with a view to determining different levels of magnitude existing in non-cognitive items and ...
