IRT versus Conventional Equating Methods: A Comparative Study of Scale Stability.
Petersen, Nancy S.; And Others
Journal of Educational Statistics, v8 n2 p137-56 Sum 1983
Three methods of test equating (linear, equipercentile, and item response theory) were investigated with respect to the issue of scale drift. Results indicate that all three models work well in limited settings but that the item response theory approach provided the most stable results overall. (JKS)
