Bayesian Computerized Adaptive Testing
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) comes with many advantages. Unfortunately, it still is quite expensive to develop and maintain an operational CAT. In this paper, various steps involved in developing an operational CAT are described and literature on these topics is reviewed. Bayesian CAT is introduced as an alternative, and the use of empirical priors is proposed for estimating item and per...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping Rules for Sequential Hypothesis Testing
Suppose that we are given sample access to an unknown distribution p over n elements and an explicit distribution q over the same n elements. We would like to reject the null hypothesis “p = q” after seeing as few samples as possible, when p 6= q, while we never want to reject the null, when p = q. Well-known results show that Θ( √ n/ 2) samples are necessary and sufficient for distinguishing w...
متن کاملComputerized Adaptive Testing
A method of item pool design is proposed that uses an optimal blueprint for the item pool calculated from the test specifications. The blueprint is a document that specifies the attributes that the items in the computerized adaptive test (CAT) pool should have. The blueprint can be a starting point for the item writing process, and it can be used to assemble item pools in a system of rotating p...
متن کاملEvaluating Computerized Adaptive Testing Systems
Many educational organizations are trying to reduce the cost of exams, the workload, delay of scoring, and the human errors. Also, organizations try to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the testing. Recently, most examination organizations use Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) as the method for large scale testing. This chapter investigates the current state of CAT systems and identifie...
متن کاملMental Health Computerized Adaptive Testing
Context: Mental health measurement relies upon antiquated approaches to the analysis, design and administration of psychiatric instruments. Objective: This study examines the utility of the combination of Item Response Theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT) for the calibration, administration, and scoring of psychiatric measurement systems. Design: To illustrate the application of...
