Calibration of Polytomous Item Families Using Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2003
For complex educational assessments, there is an increasing use of item families, which are groups of related items. Calibration or scoring in an assessment involving item families requires models that can take into account the dependence structure inherent among the items that belong to the same item family.

Causal Effect Estimation With TMLE: Handling Missing Data and Near Violations of Positivity

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We evaluate the performance of targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) for estimating the average treatment effect in missing data scenarios under varying levels of positivity violations. We employ model‐ and design‐based simulations, with the latter using undersmoothed highly adaptive lasso on the “WASH Benefits Bangladesh” data set to ...

Item Selection Methods in Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing With Polytomously Scored Items [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2018
Multidimensional computerized adaptive testing (MCAT) has been developed over the past decades, and most of them can only deal with dichotomously scored items. However, polytomously scored items have been broadly used in a variety of tests for their advantages of providing more information and testing complicated abilities and skills.

Optimizing Large‐Scale Mathematical Assessments: Leveraging Hierarchical Attribute Structures and Diagnostic Classification Models for Enhanced Student Diagnostics

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Volume 45, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
Abstract Diagnostic classification models (DCMs) assess students’ mastery of cognitive attributes to provide personalized ability profiles. Retrofitting DCMs to large‐scale mathematics assessments usually relies on inferred Q‐matrices, which can reduce accuracy and diagnostic value.

Exploring Rubric-Related Multidimensionality in Polytomously Scored Test Items [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 2016
Test items scored as polytomous have the potential to display multidimensionality across rating scale score categories. This article uses a multidimensional nominal response model (MNRM) to examine the possibility that the proficiency dimension/dimensional composite best measured by a polytomously scored item may vary by score category, an issue not ...

Sense of Belonging in Science: A Focus on the Construct

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
Abstract The importance of the construct to the fields of measurement and cognitive science cannot be overstated. Without an understanding of the construct, including clarity and scope of the substantive and structural aspects, one cannot ensure valid use and interpretation of a constructed measure.

Investigating dynamics in attentive and inattentive responding together with their contextual correlates using a novel mixture IRT model for intensive longitudinal data

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 79, Issue 2, Page 379-408, May 2026.
Abstract In ecological momentary assessment (EMA), respondents answer brief questionnaires about their current behaviours or experiences several times per day across multiple days. The frequent measurement enables a thorough grasp of the dynamics inherent in psychological constructs, but it also increases respondent burden.

Comprehensive Psychometric Evaluation of the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills‐Revised and the Assessment of Functional Living Skills

Behavioral Interventions, Volume 41, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Neurodevelopmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, have increased in prevalence, highlighting the need for reliable and valid instruments that guide behavioral interventions. This study reports a comprehensive psychometric evaluation of the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills–Revised (ABLLS‐R) and the Assessment ...

Psychometric Evaluation of a Metaphorical Thinking Instrument in Mathematics Learning: Graded Response Model

Journal of Mathematics Instruction, Social Research and Opinion
This study aims to develop and psychometrically validate an assessment instrument designed to measure students’ metaphorical thinking ability in mathematics learning, with a specific focus on the Pythagorean Theorem. The instrument was developed using a

Missingness in Eligibility Criteria for Target Trial Emulation in EHR With Survival Outcomes

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 8-9, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In certain settings, when conducting a randomized trial would be infeasible, electronic health records (EHR) can be used to emulate a target trial and estimate causal effects of an intervention. This process involves specifying the elements of a hypothetical trial protocol and applying these to the design of an observational study conducted ...
