Theory‐Driven IRT Modeling of Vocabulary Development: Matthew Effects and the Case for Unipolar IRT

Journal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.
Abstract Item response theory (IRT) encompasses a broader class of measurement models than is commonly appreciated by practitioners in educational measurement. For measures of vocabulary and its development, we show how psychological theory might in certain instances support unipolar IRT modeling as a superior alternative to the more traditional ...

Leveraging LLM respondents for item evaluation: A psychometric analysis

British Journal of Educational Technology, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 1028-1052, May 2025.
Effective educational measurement relies heavily on the curation of well‐designed item pools. However, item calibration is time consuming and costly, requiring a sufficient number of respondents to estimate the psychometric properties of items. In this study, we explore the potential of six different large language models (LLMs; GPT‐3.5, GPT‐4, Llama 2,

A convexity‐constrained parameterization of the random effects generalized partial credit model

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Volume 78, Issue 2, Page 401-419, May 2025.
An alternative closed‐form expression for the marginal joint probability distribution of item scores under the random effects generalized partial credit model is presented. The closed‐form expression involves a cumulant generating function and is therefore subjected to convexity constraints.

Person-fit statistics, response sets and survey participation in a population-based cohort study [PDF]

Psihologija, 2015
Person-fit methodology is a promising technique for identifying subjects whose test scores have questionable validity. Less is known however about this technique’s ability to predict survey participation longitudinally.

Incorporating Test‐Taking Engagement into Multistage Adaptive Testing Design for Large‐Scale Assessments

Journal of Educational Measurement, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 57-80, Spring 2025.
Abstract The use of multistage adaptive testing (MST) has gradually increased in large‐scale testing programs as MST achieves a balanced compromise between linear test design and item‐level adaptive testing. MST works on the premise that each examinee gives their best effort when attempting the items, and their responses truly reflect what they know or

The Development and Psychometric Validation of Culture of Patient Safety Scale Under Rasch Objective Measurement Theory

International Journal of Clinical Practice, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Background: Assessing the culture of patient safety in healthcare settings is pivotal for continuously reinforcing effective, safe and quality patient care. However, most of the rating scales lack evidence of objective validation of the measuring instruments.

Psychometric evaluation of the extended inclusion of nature in self scale in Chinese adults through the Rasch analysis

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2431-2448, December 2024.
Abstract How humans connect with nature impacts the well‐being of both people and ecosystems. Being disconnected from nature can lead to attitudes and behaviours that ultimately damage our physical and mental health and cause irreparable harm to the planet.

LOO and WAIC as Model Selection Methods for Polytomous Items [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC; Watanabe, 2010) and leave-one-out cross validation (LOO) are two fully Bayesian model selection methods that have been shown to perform better than other traditional information-criterion based model selection methods such as AIC, BIC, and DIC in the context of dichotomous IRT model selection. In this paper,
