Peer reviewedSchnipke, Deborah L.; Green, Bert F. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1995
Two item selection algorithms, one based on maximal differentiation between examinees and one based on item response theory and maximum information for each examinee, were compared in simulated linear and adaptive tests of cognitive ability. Adaptive tests based on maximum information were clearly superior. (SLD)

Peer reviewedClauser, Brian E.; Margolis, Melissa J.; Clyman, Stephen G.; Ross, Linette P. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1997
Research on automated scoring is extended by comparing alternative automated systems for scoring a computer simulation of physicians' patient management skills. A regression-based system is more highly correlated with experts' evaluations than a system that uses complex rules to map performances into score levels, but both approaches are feasible.…
