Classical Test Theory as a First-Order Item Response Theory: Application to True-Score Prediction from a Possibly Nonparallel Test.

Holland, Paul W.; Hoskens, Machteld

Psychometrika, v68 n1 p123-49 Mar 2003

Gives an account of classical test theory that shows how it can be viewed as a mean and variance approximation to a general version of item response theory and then shows how this approach can give insight into predicting the true score of a test and the true scores of tests not necessarily parallel to the given test.
