Latent Transition Analysis With a Mixture Item Response Theory Measurement Model
A latent transition analysis (LTA) model was described with a mixture Rasch model (MRM) as the measurement model. Unlike the LTA, which was developed with a latent class measurement model, the LTA-MRM permits within-class variability on the latent variable, making it more useful for measuring treatment effects within latent classes. A simulation study indicated that model recovery using the LTA...
متن کاملItem response theory for measurement validity
Item response theory (IRT) is an important method of assessing the validity of measurement scales that is underutilized in the field of psychiatry. IRT describes the relationship between a latent trait (e.g., the construct that the scale proposes to assess), the properties of the items in the scale, and respondents' answers to the individual items. This paper introduces the basic premise, assum...
متن کاملItem response theory and clinical measurement.
In this review, we examine studies that use item response theory (IRT) to explore the psychometric properties of clinical measures. Next, we consider how IRT has been used in clinical research for: scale linking, computerized adaptive testing, and differential item functioning analysis. Finally, we consider the scale properties of IRT trait scores. We conclude that there are notable differences...
متن کاملA model that combines diagnostic classification assessment with mixture item response theory models
The purpose of this dissertation is to present a new psychometric model that combines a Mixture Rasch model with a diagnostic model. We refer to this model as a diagnostic classification mixture Rasch model (DCMixRM). The motivation for the development of the DCMixRM is twofold. First, the DCMixRM is designed to provide rigorous explanation as to factors that are potentially causing the latent ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Impact of Item Parameter Drift for Item Response Theory Models with Mixture Distributions
This study investigates the impact of item parameter drift (IPD) on parameter and ability estimation when the underlying measurement model fits a mixture distribution, thereby violating the item invariance property of unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models. An empirical study was conducted to demonstrate the occurrence of both IPD and an underlying mixture distribution using real-worl...
