Psychometric Validation of the FACE‐Q Dental Module in Patients With Malocclusions
ABSTRACT Objective The FACE‐Q Craniofacial Module is a patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) developed for children and young adults with craniofacial conditions. We hypothesised that some of its scales may be applicable to other populations. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of FACE‐Q scales for patients with dental ...

Another Look at Yen's Q3: Is .2 an Appropriate Cut‐Off?
Abstract This study examined the widely used threshold of .2 for Yen's Q3, an index for violations of local independence. Specifically, a simulation was conducted to investigate whether Q3 values were related to the magnitude of bias in estimates of reliability, item parameters, and examinee ability.

Measuring a family sense of coherence: a rasch-based study extending dyadic data analyses
Background Family sense of coherence (FSOC) seems to reduce distress in the family and promote the well-being of the family. Therefore, getting accurate measurements for families with long-term illnesses is of particular interest.

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

Extended Rasch Modeling: The eRm Package for the Application of IRT Models in R
Item response theory models (IRT) are increasingly becoming established in social science research, particularly in the analysis of performance or attitudinal data in psychology, education, medicine, marketing and other fields where testing is relevant ...

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