A General Approach to Algorithmic Design of Fixed-Form Tests, Adaptive Tests, and Testlets.

Berger, Martijn P. F.

Applied Psychological Measurement, v18 n2 p141-53 Jun 1994

This paper focuses on similarities of optimal design of fixed-form tests, adaptive tests, and testlets within the framework of the general theory of optimal designs. A sequential design procedure is proposed that uses these similarities to obtain consistent estimates for the trait level distribution. (SLD)
