Kernel equating: A framework of observed score equating

Estimating Equating Error in Observed-Score Equating

DOCUMENT RESUME

IRT Observed-Score Kernel Equating with the R Package kequate

The R package kequate enables observed-score equating using the kernel method of test equating. We present the recent developments of kequate, which provide additional support for item-response theory observed score equating using 2-PL and 3-PL models in the equivalent groups design and non-equivalent groups with anchor test design using chain equating. The implementation also allows for local ...
