An Optimization Model for Test Assembly To Match Observed-Score Distributions. Research Report 94-7.
Download full textvan der Linden, Wim J.; Luecht, Richard M. – 1994
An optimization model is presented that allows test assemblers to control the shape of the observed-score distribution on a test for a population with a known ability distribution. An obvious application is for item response theory-based test assembly in programs where observed scores are reported and operational test forms are required to produce…
