Previous research has found the effects of acquiescence to be generally consistent across item aggregates within a single survey (i.e., essential tau-equivalence), but it is unknown whether this phenomenon is consistent at the individual it...
An Alternative Way to Model Population Ability Distributions in Large-Scale Educational Surveys [0.03%]
大规模教育调查中建模人口能力分布的一种替代方法

Eunike Wetzel
In large-scale educational surveys, a latent regression model is used to compensate for the shortage of cognitive information. Conventionally, the covariates in the latent regression model are principal components extracted from background ...
Assessing Spurious Interaction Effects in Structural Equation Modeling: A Cautionary Note [0.03%]
结构方程模型中虚假交互效应的评估：一则警示注记
Jeffrey R Harring,Brandi A Weiss,Ming Li
Jeffrey R Harring
Several studies have stressed the importance of simultaneously estimating interaction and quadratic effects in multiple regression analyses, even if theory only suggests an interaction effect should be present. Specifically, past studies su...
Differential Item Functioning Detection Across Two Methods of Defining Group Comparisons: Pairwise and Composite Group Comparisons [0.03%]
基于配对和合成组比较的两种定义分组对比方法下的项目功能差异检测

Halil Ibrahim Sari
This study compares two methods of defining groups for the detection of differential item functioning (DIF): (a) pairwise comparisons and (b) composite group comparisons. We aim to emphasize and empirically support the notion that the choic...
The Importance of the Assumption of Uncorrelated Errors in Psychometric Theory [0.03%]
心理测量理论中假定误差不相关的的重要性

Tenko Raykov
A critical discussion of the assumption of uncorrelated errors in classical psychometric theory and its applications is provided. It is pointed out that this assumption is essential for a number of fundamental results and underlies the conc...
The Interaction of Ability Differences and Guessing When Modeling Differential Item Functioning With the Rasch Model: Conventional and Tailored Calibration [0.03%]
当使用Rasch模型建模不同项目功能时能力差异和猜测的交互作用：常规校准与定制校准

Christine E DeMars
In educational testing, differential item functioning (DIF) statistics must be accurately estimated to ensure the appropriate items are flagged for inspection or removal. This study showed how using the Rasch model to estimate DIF may intro...

Interest in using Bayesian methods for estimating item response theory models has grown at a remarkable rate in recent years. This attentiveness to Bayesian estimation has also inspired a growth in available software such as WinBUGS, R pack...
Modeling Booklet Effects for Nonequivalent Group Designs in Large-Scale Assessment [0.03%]
大规模评估中非等组设计的习题册效应建模
Martin Hecht,Sebastian Weirich,Thilo Siegle et al.
Martin Hecht et al.
Multiple matrix designs are commonly used in large-scale assessments to distribute test items to students. These designs comprise several booklets, each containing a subset of the complete item pool. Besides reducing the test burden of indi...
A Cautionary Note on the Use of the Vale and Maurelli Method to Generate Multivariate, Nonnormal Data for Simulation Purposes [0.03%]
生成用于模拟的多元非正态数据时使用Vale和Maurelli方法的一个警告注释

Oscar L Olvera Astivia
To further understand the properties of data-generation algorithms for multivariate, nonnormal data, two Monte Carlo simulation studies comparing the Vale and Maurelli method and the Headrick fifth-order polynomial method were implemented. ...
Psychometric Properties of Measures of Team Diversity With Likert Data [0.03%]
基于Likert量表数据的团队多样性测量工具的项目反应属性研究
