Uglanova, Irina – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2021
There is increased use of Bayesian networks (BN) in educational assessment. In psychometrics, BN serves as a measurement model with high flexibility, suitable to model educational assessment data with a complex structure. BN is a novel psychometric approach and not all aspects of its application are well-known. The article aims to provide the…

In many surveys, the data comprise a large number of categorical variables that suffer from item nonresponse. Standard methods for multiple imputation, like log-linear models or sequential regression imputation, can fail to capture complex dependencies and can be difficult to implement effectively in high dimensions. We present a fully Bayesian,…

Klein Entink, Rinke H.; Kuhn, Jorg-Tobias; Hornke, Lutz F.; Fox, Jean-Paul – Psychological Methods, 2009
In current psychological research, the analysis of data from computer-based assessments or experiments is often confined to accuracy scores. Response times, although being an important source of additional information, are either neglected or analyzed separately. In this article, a new model is developed that allows the simultaneous analysis of…
