Peer reviewedCliff, Norman; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
Monte Carlo research with TAILOR, a program using implied orders as a basis for tailored testing, is reported. TAILOR typically required about half the available items to estimate, for each simulated examinee, the responses on the remainder. (Author/CTM)

Peer reviewedCudeck, Robert; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
TAILOR, a computer program which implements an approach to tailored testing, was examined by Monte Carlo methods. The evaluation showed the procedure to be highly reliable and capable of reducing the required number of tests items by about one half. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedHambleton, Ronald K.; And Others – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1983
A new method was developed to assist in the selection of a test length by utilizing computer simulation procedures and item response theory. A demonstration of the method presents results which address the influences of item pool heterogeneity matched to the objectives of interest and the method of item selection. (Author/PN)
