Measuring the Difference between Two Models.

Peer reviewed

Levine, Michael V.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1992

Two joint maximum likelihood estimation methods (LOGIST 2B and LOGIST 5) and two marginal maximum likelihood estimation methods (BILOG and ForScore) were contrasted by measuring the difference between a simulation model and a model obtained by applying an estimation method to simulation data. Marginal estimation was generally superior. (SLD)

Optimal Appropriateness Measurement.

Peer reviewed

Levine, Michael V.; Drasgow, Fritz – Psychometrika, 1988

Some examinees' test-taking behavior may be so idiosyncratic that their test scores are not comparable to those of more typical examinees. A new theoretical approach to appropriateness measurement is proposed that specifies a likelihood ratio test and an efficient computer algorithm for computing the test statistic. (TJH)
