A Maximin Model for Test Design with Practical Constraints.
van der Linden, Wim J.; Boekkooi-Timminga, Ellen
Psychometrika, v54 n2 p237-47 Jun 1989
A maximin model for test design based on item response theory is proposed. Only the relative shape of target test information function is specified. It serves as a constraint subject to which a linear programing algorithm maximizes the test information. The model is illustrated, and alternative models are discussed. (TJH)
