Skaggs, Gary; Wilkins, Jesse L. M.; Hein, Serge F. – International Journal of Testing, 2016
The purpose of this study was to explore the degree of grain size of the attributes and the sample sizes that can support accurate parameter recovery with the General Diagnostic Model (GDM) for a large-scale international assessment. In this resampling study, bootstrap samples were obtained from the 2003 Grade 8 TIMSS in Mathematics at varying…

The Galois-lattice is a graphic method for representing all possible developmental phases to reach a given total knowledge via different partial knowledge structures. Algorithms are proposed for incorporating statistical analysis into the Galois-lattice method. A comparison to the Rasch model and application for educational research are given. (BS)

Cliff, Norman; And Others – 1977
TAILOR is a computer program that uses the implied orders concept as the basis for computerized adaptive testing. The basic characteristics of TAILOR, which does not involve pretesting, are reviewed here and two studies of it are reported. One is a Monte Carlo simulation based on the four-parameter Birnbaum model and the other uses a matrix of…
