Establishing the HLS-Q12 short version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire: latent trait analyses applying Rasch modelling and confirmatory factor analysis

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background The European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47) is widely used in assessing health literacy (HL). There has been some controversy whether the comprehensive HLS-EU-Q47 data, reflecting a conceptual model of four cognitive domains

A Topic Testlet Model for Calibrating Testlet Constructed Responses

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Constructed responses (CRs) within testlets are widely used to assess complex skills but can pose calibration challenges due to local item dependence. A few current testlet models incorporate testlet‐specific effects to address local dependence but struggle with interpreting these effects and may not fully capture the complexities of CR items ...

Generalizability Theory for Randomly Parallel Testing

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 63, Issue 1, Spring 2026.
Abstract Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought significant changes to testing practices, including the emergence of randomly parallel testing (RPT), in which examinees receive different but psychometrically similar sets of items generated from templates or AI‐based systems.

Keeping Elo alive: Evaluating and improving measurement properties of learning systems based on Elo ratings

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 95-110, February 2026.
Abstract The Elo Rating System which originates from competitive chess has been widely utilised in large‐scale online educational applications where it is used for on‐the‐fly estimation of ability, item calibration, and adaptivity. In this paper, we aim to critically analyse the shortcomings of the Elo rating system in an educational context, shedding ...

Evaluating the impact of calibration of patient-reported outcomes measures on results from randomized clinical trials: a simulation study based on Rasch measurement theory

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2022
Background Meaningfully interpreting patient-reported outcomes (PRO) results from randomized clinical trials requires that the PRO scores obtained in the trial have the same meaning across patients and previous applications of the PRO instrument ...

Mokken scale analysis of mental health and well-being questionnaire item responses: a non-parametric IRT method in empirical research for applied health researchers

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2012
Background Mokken scaling techniques are a useful tool for researchers who wish to construct unidimensional tests or use questionnaires that comprise multiple binary or polytomous items. The stochastic cumulative scaling model offered by this approach is

Jointly modeling responses and omitted items by a competing risk model: A survival analysis approach

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 804-829, November 2025.
Abstract Item response theory models are commonly adopted in educational assessment and psychological measurement. Such models need to be modified to accommodate practical situations when statistical sampling assumptions are violated. Omission is a common phenomenon in educational testing.
