A New Similarity Measure Based on Item Proximity and Closeness for Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. User similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...

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 کاملApplication of item response theory for development of a global functioning measure of dementia with linear measurement properties.
An ideal measure of global functioning for patients with dementia would discriminate at very high and very low levels of functioning and would have linear measurement properties such that a given change in score corresponds to the same amount of change in underlying ability at any part of the ability continuum. Using item response theory methods, linearity of test measurement can be directly as...
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...
