A Cluster-Based Method for Test Construction.

Boekkooi-Timminga, Ellen

Applied Psychological Measurement, v14 n4 p341-54 Dec 1990

A new test construction model based on the Rasch model is proposed. This model, the cluster-based method, considers groups of interchangeable items rather than individual items and uses integer programing. Results for six test construction problems indicate that the method produces accurate results in small amounts of time. (SLD)
