Cluster Analysis of Angular Data in Applications of Multidimensional Item-Response Theory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Timothy R.; Hirsch, Thomas M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1992
A procedure for interpreting multiple-discrimination indices from a multidimensional item-response theory analysis is described and demonstrated with responses of 1,635 high school students to a multiple-choice test. The procedure consists of converting discrimination parameter estimates to direction cosines and analyzing the angular distances…
