Theoretical and Empirical Comparison of the Mokken and the Rasch Approach to IRT.

Meijer, Rob R.; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v14 n3 p283-98 Sep 1990

Mokken models of monotone homogeneity and double monotonicity and the Rasch model are compared using data from 990 young adult examinees taking a Dutch verbal intelligence test--the Verbal Analogies Test. The model of monotone homogeneity was found suitable for basic testing; more sophisticated applications appear to require parametric models. (SLD)
