Effectiveness of the hybrid Levine equipercentile and modified frequency estimation equating methods under the common-item nonequivalent groups design
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the hybrid Levine equipercentile (Hybrid LE) and modified frequency estimation (MFE) equating methods in improving accuracy of equating as compared to the percentile rank frequency estimation (FE), kernel frequency estimation (Kernel FE) and percentile rank chained equipercentile (CE) equating methods under the common-item nonequiva...
متن کاملA comparison of Van der Linden's conditional equipercentile equating method with other equating methods under the random groups design
To ensure test security and fairness, alternative forms of the same test are administered in practice. However, alternative forms of the same test generally do not have the same test difficulty level, even though alternative test forms are designed to be as parallel as possible. Equating adjusts for differences in difficulties among forms of the test. Six traditional equating methods are consid...

متن کاملA Comparison of Four Test Equating Methods
This research evaluated the effectiveness of identifying students’ real gains through the application of four commonly used equating methods: concurrent calibration (CC) equating, fixed common item parameter (FCIP) equating, Stocking and Lord test characteristic curve (TCC) equating, and mean/sigma (M/S) equating. The performance of the four procedures was evaluated using simulated data for a t...
