Analyzing the Results of Monte Carlo Studies in Item Response Theory.

Harwell, Michael R.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v57 n2 p266-79 Apr 1997

Results from two Monte Carlo studies in item response theory (comparisons of computer item analysis programs and Bayes estimation procedures) are analyzed with inferential methods to illustrate the procedures' strengths. It is recommended that researchers in item response theory use both descriptive and inferential methods to analyze Monte Carlo results. (Author/SLD)
