Matsushima, Yuki; Noma, Hisashi; Yamada, Tomohide; Furukawa, Toshi A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2020
Meta-analyses of diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies have been gaining prominence in research in clinical epidemiology and health technology development. In these DTA meta-analyses, some studies may have markedly different characteristics from the others and potentially be inappropriate to include. The inclusion of these "outlying"…

Nguyen, Huy; Liew, Chun Wai – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Recent works on Intelligent Tutoring Systems have focused on more complicated knowledge domains, which pose challenges in automated assessment of student performance. In particular, while the system can log every user action and keep track of the student's solution state, it is unable to determine the hidden intermediate steps leading to such…

Miller, Jeff; Schwarz, Wolf – Psychological Methods, 2011
We study a model of the research process in which the true effect size, the replication jitter due to changes in experimental procedure, and the statistical error of effect size measurement are all normally distributed random variables. Within this model, we analyze the probability of successfully replicating an initial experimental result by…

Kieftenbeld, Vincent; Natesan, Prathiba; Eddy, Colleen – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2011
The mathematics teaching efficacy beliefs of preservice elementary teachers have been the subject of several studies. A widely used measure in these studies is the Mathematics Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (MTEBI). The present study provides a detailed analysis of the psychometric properties of the MTEBI using Bayesian item response theory.…

Karabatsos, George; Walker, Stephen G. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Karabatsos and Walker (2011) introduced a new Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) regression model. Through analyses of real and simulated data, they showed that the BNP regression model outperforms other parametric and nonparametric regression models of common use, in terms of predictive accuracy of the outcome (dependent) variable. The other,…
