The Application of Latent Class Models in Adaptive Testing.

Macready, George B.; Dayton, C. Mitchell

Psychometrika, v57 n1 p71-88 Mar 1992

An adaptive testing algorithm is presented based on an alternative modeling framework, and its effectiveness is investigated in a simulation based on real data. The algorithm uses a latent class modeling framework in which assessed latent attributes are assumed to be categorical variables. (SLD)
