Paradoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory
In multidimensional item response theory (MIRT), it is possible for the estimate of a subject’s ability in some dimension to decrease after they have answered a question correctly. This paper investigates how and when this type of paradoxical result can occur. We demonstrate that many response models and statistical estimates can produce paradoxical results and that in the popular class of line...
متن کاملOn multidimensional item response theory -- a coordinate free approach
A coordinate system free definition of complex structure multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) for dichotomously scored items is presented. The point of view taken emphasizes the possibilities and subtleties of understanding MIRT as a multidimensional extension of the “classical” unidimensional item response theory models. The main theorem of the paper is that every monotonic MIRT model ...
متن کاملLikelihood and Fairness in Multidimensional Item Response Theory
In multidimensional item response theory, it is possible for the estimate of a subject’s ability in some dimension to decrease after they have answered a question correctly. When this occurs, the fairness of the estimate may be called into question. This paper investigates how and when this form of non-monotonicity occurs. We demonstrate that many response models and statistical estimates can p...
متن کاملA modular approach for item response theory modeling with the R package flirt.
The new R package flirt is introduced for flexible item response theory (IRT) modeling of psychological, educational, and behavior assessment data. flirt integrates a generalized linear and nonlinear mixed modeling framework with graphical model theory. The graphical model framework allows for efficient maximum likelihood estimation. The key feature of flirt is its modular approach to facilitat...
متن کاملA Multidimensional Ideal Point Item Response Theory Model for Binary Data.
We introduce a multidimensional item response theory (IRT) model for binary data based on a proximity response mechanism. Under the model, a respondent at the mode of the item response function (IRF) endorses the item with probability one. The mode of the IRF is the ideal point, or in the multidimensional case, an ideal hyperplane. The model yields closed form expressions for the cell probabili...
