@article {2735, title = {Item Calibration Methods With Multiple Subscale Multistage Testing}, journal = {Journal of Educational Measurement}, volume = {57}, number = {1}, year = {2020}, pages = {3-28}, abstract = {Abstract Many large-scale educational surveys have moved from linear form design to multistage testing (MST) design. One advantage of MST is that it can provide more accurate latent trait (θ) estimates using fewer items than required by linear tests. However, MST generates incomplete response data by design; hence, questions remain as to how to calibrate items using the incomplete data from MST design. Further complication arises when there are multiple correlated subscales per test, and when items from different subscales need to be calibrated according to their respective score reporting metric. The current calibration-per-subscale method produced biased item parameters, and there is no available method for resolving the challenge. Deriving from the missing data principle, we showed when calibrating all items together the Rubin{\textquoteright}s ignorability assumption is satisfied such that the traditional single-group calibration is sufficient. When calibrating items per subscale, we proposed a simple modification to the current calibration-per-subscale method that helps reinstate the missing-at-random assumption and therefore corrects for the estimation bias that is otherwise existent. Three mainstream calibration methods are discussed in the context of MST, they are the marginal maximum likelihood estimation, the expectation maximization method, and the fixed parameter calibration. An extensive simulation study is conducted and a real data example from NAEP is analyzed to provide convincing empirical evidence.}, keywords = {EM, marginal maximum likelihood, missing data, multistage testing}, doi = {10.1111/jedm.12241}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jedm.12241}, author = {Wang, Chun and Chen, Ping and Jiang, Shengyu} } @article {2702, title = {How Adaptive Is an Adaptive Test: Are All Adaptive Tests Adaptive?}, journal = {Journal of Computerized Adaptive Testing}, volume = {7}, year = {2019}, pages = {1-14}, keywords = {computerized adaptive test, multistage test, statistical indicators of amount of adaptation}, doi = {10.7333/1902-0701001}, url = {http://iacat.org/jcat/index.php/jcat/article/view/69/34}, author = {Mark Reckase and Unhee Ju and Sewon Kim} } @conference {2664, title = {Bayesian Perspectives on Adaptive Testing}, booktitle = {IACAT 2017 Conference}, year = {2017}, month = {08/2017}, publisher = {Niigata Seiryo University}, organization = {Niigata Seiryo University}, address = {Niigata, Japan}, abstract = {

Although adaptive testing is usually treated from the perspective of maximum-likelihood parameter estimation and maximum-informaton item selection, a Bayesian pespective is more natural, statistically efficient, and computationally tractable. This observation not only holds for the core process of ability estimation but includes such processes as item calibration, and real-time monitoring of item security as well. Key elements of the approach are parametric modeling of each relevant process, updating of the parameter estimates after the arrival of each new response, and optimal design of the next step.

The purpose of the symposium is to illustrates the role of Bayesian statistics in this approach. The first presentation discusses a basic Bayesian algorithm for the sequential update of any parameter in adaptive testing and illustrates the idea of Bayesian optimal design for the two processes of ability estimation and online item calibration. The second presentation generalizes the ideas to the case of 62 IACAT 2017 ABSTRACTS BOOKLET adaptive testing with polytomous items. The third presentation uses the fundamental Bayesian idea of sampling from updated posterior predictive distributions (\“multiple imputations\”) to deal with the problem of scoring incomplete adaptive tests.

The MHK is a national standardized exam that tests and rates Chinese language proficiency. It assesses non-native Chinese minorities\’ abilities in using the Chinese language in their daily, academic and professional lives; Computerized multistage adaptive testing (MST) is a combination of conventional paper-and-pencil (P\&P) and item level computerized adaptive test (CAT), it is a kind of test forms based on computerized technology, take the item set as the scoring unit. It can be said that, MST estimate the Ability extreme value more accurate than conventional paper-and-pencil (P\&P), also used the CAT auto-adapted characteristic to reduce the examination length and the score time of report. At present, MST has used in some large test, like Uniform CPA Examination and Graduate Record Examination(GRE). Therefore, it is necessary to develop the MST of application in China.

Based on consideration of the MHK characteristics and its future development, the researchers start with design of MHK-MST. This simulation study is conducted to validate the performance of the MHK -MST system. Real difficulty parameters of MHK items and the simulated ability parameters of the candidates are used to generate the original score matrix and the item modules are delivered to the candidates following the adaptive procedures set according to the path rules. This simulation study provides a sound basis for the implementation of MHK-MST.

Item response theory parameters have to be estimated, and because of the estimation process, they do have uncertainty in them. In most large-scale testing programs, the parameters are stored in item banks, and automated test assembly algorithms are applied to assemble operational test forms. These algorithms treat item parameters as fixed values, and uncertainty is not taken into account. As a consequence, resulting tests might be off target or less informative than expected. In this article, the process of parameter estimation is described to provide insight into the causes of uncertainty in the item parameters. The consequences of uncertainty are studied. Besides, an alternative automated test assembly algorithm is presented that is robust against uncertainties in the data. Several numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the robust test assembly algorithm, and illustrate the consequences of not taking this uncertainty into account. Finally, some recommendations about the use of robust test assembly and some directions for further research are given.

This study explored the impact of partial credit scoring of one type of innovative items (multiple-response items) in a computerized adaptive version of a large-scale licensure pretest and operational test settings. The impacts of partial credit scoring on the estimation of the ability parameters and classification decisions in operational test settings were explored in one real data analysis and two simulation studies when two different polytomous scoring algorithms, automated polytomous scoring and rater-generated polytomous scoring, were applied. For the real data analyses, the ability estimates from dichotomous and polytomous scoring were highly correlated; the classification consistency between different scoring algorithms was nearly perfect. Information distribution changed slightly in the operational item bank. In the two simulation studies comparing each polytomous scoring with dichotomous scoring, the ability estimates resulting from polytomous scoring had slightly higher measurement precision than those resulting from dichotomous scoring. The practical impact related to classification decision was minor because of the extremely small number of items that could be scored polytomously in this current study.

A computer adaptive test CAT) is a delivery methodology that serves the larger goals of the assessment system in which it is embedded. A thorough analysis of the assessment system for which a CAT is being designed is critical to ensure that the delivery platform is appropriate and addresses all relevant complexities. As such, a CAT engine must be designed to conform to the
validity and reliability of the overall system. This design takes the form of adherence to the assessment goals and objectives of the adaptive assessment system. When the assessment is adapted for use in another country, consideration must be given to any necessary revisions including content differences. This article addresses these considerations while drawing, in part, on the process followed in the development of the CAT delivery system designed to test English language workplace skills for the Singapore Workforce Development Agency. Topics include item creation and selection, calibration of the item pool, analysis and testing of the psychometric properties, and reporting and interpretation of scores. The characteristics and benefits of the CAT delivery system are detailed as well as implications for testing programs considering the use of a
CAT delivery system.

MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: This study was part of PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Information System), a National Institutes of Health Roadmap initiative. Self-report item banks were developed through an iterative process of literature searches, collecting and sorting items, expert content review, qualitative patient research, and pilot testing. Internal consistency, convergent validity, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were examined in the resulting item banks. Factor analyses identified 2 preliminary item banks, sleep disturbance and SRI. Item response theory analyses and expert content review narrowed the item banks to 27 and 16 items, respectively. Validity of the item banks was supported by moderate to high correlations with existing scales and by significant differences in sleep disturbance and SRI scores between participants with and without sleep disorders.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive administration of back pain-related disability items compared with a fixed 11-item short form. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Short form versions of the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire have been developed. An alternative to paper-and-pencil short forms is to administer items adaptively so that items are presented based on a person{\textquoteright}s responses to previous items. Theoretically, this allows precise estimation of back pain disability with administration of only a few items. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were gathered from 2 previously conducted studies of persons with back pain. An item response theory model was used to calibrate scores based on all items, items of a paper-and-pencil short form, and several computer adaptive tests (CATs). RESULTS: Correlations between each CAT condition and scores based on a 23-item version of the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire ranged from 0.93 to 0.98. Compared with an 11-item short form, an 11-item CAT produced scores that were significantly more highly correlated with scores based on the 23-item scale. CATs with even fewer items also produced scores that were highly correlated with scores based on all items. For example, scores from a 5-item CAT had a correlation of 0.93 with full scale scores. Seven- and 9-item CATs correlated at 0.95 and 0.97, respectively. A CAT with a standard-error-based stopping rule produced scores that correlated at 0.95 with full scale scores. CONCLUSION: A CAT-based back pain-related disability measure may be a valuable tool for use in clinical and research contexts. Use of CAT for other common measures in back pain research, such as other functional scales or measures of psychological distress, may offer similar advantages.}, keywords = {*Disability Evaluation, *Health Status Indicators, Adult, Aged, Aged, 80 and over, Back Pain/*diagnosis/psychology, Calibration, Computer Simulation, Diagnosis, Computer-Assisted/*standards, Humans, Middle Aged, Models, Psychological, Predictive Value of Tests, Questionnaires/*standards, Reproducibility of Results}, isbn = {1528-1159 (Electronic)}, author = {Cook, K.

Criteria had been proposed for assessing the severity of possible test security violations for computerized tests with high-stakes outcomes. However, these criteria resulted from theoretical derivations that assumed uniformly randomized item selection. This study investigated potential damage caused by organized item theft in computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for two realistic item selection methods, maximum item information and a-stratified with content blocking, using the randomized method as a baseline for comparison. Damage caused by organized item theft was evaluated by the number of compromised items each examinee could encounter and the impact of the compromised items on examinees\&$\#$39; ability estimates. Severity of test security violation was assessed under self-organized and organized item theft simulation scenarios. Results indicated that though item theft could cause severe damage to CAT with either item selection method, the maximum item information method was more vulnerable to the organized item theft simulation than was the a-stratified method.

Computer adaptive testing (CAT), in which item selection is tailored to the individual patient, holds promise for reducing response burden, yet maintaining measurement precision. We calibrated a PF item bank via item response theory (IRT), administered items with a post hoc CAT design, and determined whether CAT would improve accuracy and precision of score estimates over random item selection. METHODS: 1,041 adults were interviewed during postacute care rehabilitation episodes in either hospital or community settings. Responses for 124 PF items were calibrated using IRT methods to create a PF item bank. We examined the accuracy and precision of CAT-based scores compared to a random selection of items. RESULTS: CAT-based scores had higher correlations with the IRT-criterion scores, especially with short tests, and resulted in narrower confidence intervals than scores based on a random selection of items; gains, as expected, were especially large for low and high performing adults.

It is well known that the goal of IIS is to administer the next unused item remaining in the item bank that best fits the examinees current ability estimate. In dichotomous IRT models, every item has only one difficulty parameter and the item whose difficulty matches the examinee{\textquoteright}s current ability estimate is considered to be the best fitting item. However, in GRM, each item has more than two ordered categories and has no single value to represent the item difficulty. Consequently, some researchers have used to employ the average or the median difficulty value across categories as the difficulty estimate for the item. Using the average value and the median value in effect introduced two corresponding ISSs. In this study, we used computer simulation compare four ISSs based on GRM. We also discussed the effect of "shadow pool" on the uniformity of pool usage as well as the influence of different item parameter distributions and different ability estimation methods on the evaluation criteria of CAT. In the simulation process, Monte Carlo method was adopted to simulate the entire CAT process; 1,000 examinees drawn from standard normal distribution and four 1,000-sized item pools of different item parameter distributions were also simulated. The assumption of the simulation is that a polytomous item is comprised of six ordered categories. In addition, ability estimates were derived using two methods. They were expected a posteriori Bayesian (EAP) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). In MLE, the Newton-Raphson iteration method and the Fisher Score iteration method were employed, respectively, to solve the likelihood equation. Moreover, the CAT process was simulated with each examinee 30 times to eliminate random error. The IISs were evaluated by four indices usually used in CAT from four aspects--the accuracy of ability estimation, the stability of IIS, the usage of item pool, and the test efficiency. Simulation results showed adequate evaluation of the ISS that matched the estimate of an examinee{\textquoteright}s current trait level with the difficulty values across categories. Setting "shadow pool" in ISS was able to improve the uniformity of pool utilization. Finally, different distributions of the item parameter and different ability estimation methods affected the evaluation indices of CAT.

It is critical to determine a common underlying structure before employing current methods of item equating across outcome instruments for future item banking and computer-adaptive testing applications. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factor structure, reliability, and scale properties of items underlying the Activity domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for use in postacute care outcome measurement. METHODS: We developed a 41-item Activity Measure for Postacute Care (AM-PAC) that assessed an individual{\textquoteright}s execution of discrete daily tasks in his or her own environment across major content domains as defined by the ICF. We evaluated the reliability and discriminant validity of the prototype AM-PAC in 477 individuals in active rehabilitation programs across 4 rehabilitation settings using factor analyses, tests of item scaling, internal consistency reliability analyses, Rasch item response theory modeling, residual component analysis, and modified parallel analysis. RESULTS: Results from an initial exploratory factor analysis produced 3 distinct, interpretable factors that accounted for 72\% of the variance: Applied Cognition (44\%), Personal Care \& Instrumental Activities (19\%), and Physical \& Movement Activities (9\%); these 3 activity factors were verified by a confirmatory factor analysis. Scaling assumptions were met for each factor in the total sample and across diagnostic groups. Internal consistency reliability was high for the total sample (Cronbach alpha = 0.92 to 0.94), and for specific diagnostic groups (Cronbach alpha = 0.90 to 0.95). Rasch scaling, residual factor, differential item functioning, and modified parallel analyses supported the unidimensionality and goodness of fit of each unique activity domain. CONCLUSIONS: This 3-factor model of the AM-PAC can form the conceptual basis for common-item equating and computer-adaptive applications, leading to a comprehensive system of outcome instruments for postacute care settings.}, keywords = {*Self Efficacy, *Sickness Impact Profile, Activities of Daily Living/*classification/psychology, Adult, Aftercare/*standards/statistics \& numerical data, Aged, Boston, Cognition/physiology, Disability Evaluation, Factor Analysis, Statistical, Female, Human, Male, Middle Aged, Movement/physiology, Outcome Assessment (Health Care)/*methods/statistics \& numerical data, Psychometrics, Questionnaires/standards, Rehabilitation/*standards/statistics \& numerical data, Reproducibility of Results, Sensitivity and Specificity, Support, U.S. Gov{\textquoteright}t, Non-P.H.S., Support, U.S. Gov{\textquoteright}t, P.H.S.}, author = {Haley, S.

This study consisted of three sub-studies. In each sub-study, one of the three unidimensional dichotomous IRT models, the 1-parameter logistic (IPL), the 2-parameter logistic (2PL), and the 3-parameter logistic (3PL) model was set as the true model and the other two models were treated as the misfit models. Item pool composition, test length, and stratum depth were manipulated to simulate different test conditions. To ensure the validity of the study results, the true model based CCTs using the true and the recalibrated item parameters were compared first to study the effect of estimation error in item parameters in CCTs. Then, the true model and the misfit model based CCTs were compared to accomplish the research goal, The results indicated that estimation error in item parameters did not affect classification results based on CCTs using SPRT. The effect of model specification error depended on the true model, the misfit model, and the item pool composition. When the IPL or the 2PL IRT model was the true model, the use of another IRT model had little impact on the CCT results. When the 3PL IRT model was the true model, the use of the 1PL model raised the false positive error rates. The influence of using the 2PL instead of the 3PL model depended on the item pool composition. When the item discrimination parameters varied greatly from uniformity of one, the use of the 2PL IRT model raised the false negative error rates to above the nominal level. In the simulated test conditions with test length and item exposure constraints, using a misfit model in CCTs most often affected the average test length. Its effects on error rates and classification accuracy were negligible. It was concluded that in CCTs using SPRT, IRT model selection and evaluation is indispensable (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).}, author = {Jiao, H.} } @booklet {1415, title = {A multidimensional IRT mechanism for better understanding adaptive test behavior}, year = {2003}, address = {Paper presented at the annual meeting of the National Council on Measurement in Education, Chicago IL}, author = {Jodoin, M.} } @article {215, title = {Psychometric properties of several computer-based test designs with ideal and constrained item pools}, journal = {Dissertation Abstracts International: Section B: The Sciences \& Engineering}, volume = {64}, number = {6-B}, year = {2003}, pages = {2978}, abstract = {The purpose of this study was to compare linear fixed length test (LFT), multi stage test (MST), and computer adaptive test (CAT) designs under three levels of item pool quality, two levels of match between test and item pool content specifications, two levels of test length, and several levels of exposure control expected to be practical for a number of testing programs. This design resulted in 132 conditions that were evaluated using a simulation study with 9000 examinees on several measures of overall measurement precision including reliability, the mean error and root mean squared error between true and estimated ability levels, classification precision including decision accuracy, false positive and false negative rates, and Kappa for cut scores corresponding to 30\%, 50\%, and 85\% failure rates, and conditional measurement precision with the conditional root mean squared error between true and estimated ability levels conditioned on 25 true ability levels. Test reliability, overall and conditional measurement precision, and classification precision increased with item pool quality and test length, and decreased with less adequate match between item pool and test specification match. In addition, as the maximum exposure rate decreased and the type of exposure control implemented became more restrictive, test reliability, overall and conditional measurement precision, and classification precision decreased. Within item pool quality, match between test and item pool content specifications, test length, and exposure control, CAT designs showed superior psychometric properties as compared to MST designs which in turn were superior to LFT designs. However, some caution is warranted in interpreting these results since the ability of the automated test assembly software to construct test that met specifications was limited in conditions where pool usage was high. The practical importance of the differences between test designs on the evaluation criteria studied is discussed with respect to the inferences test users seek to make from test scores and nonpsychometric factors that may be important in some testing programs.
