A Simulation and Comparison of Flexilevel and Bayesian Computerized Adaptive Testing.

De Ayala, R. J.; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v27 n3 p227-39 Fall 1990

F. M. Lord's flexilevel, computerized adaptive testing (CAT) procedure was compared to an item-response theory-based CAT procedure that uses Bayesian ability estimation with various standard errors of estimates used for terminating the test. Ability estimates of flexilevel CATs were as accurate as were those of Bayesian CATs. (TJH)
