Item 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 Methodology for Paradigm Shift to Explain Sustainable University
The sustainable university concept is rooted in prevalent paradigms pertained to economic, social and environmental development, which all focus on systemic thought and rationality; besides, they tend to discover and solve problems by applying an interdisciplinary approach. However, the epistemic component is what these paradigms have ignored. The purpose of this study is to explain a methodo...
متن کاملItem Response Theory Modeling for Microarray Gene Expression Data
The high dimensionality of global gene expression profiles, where number of variables (genes) is very large compared to the number of observations (samples), presents challenges that affect generalizability and applicability of microarray analysis. Latent variable modeling offers a promising approach to deal with high-dimensional microarray data. The latent variable model is based on a few late...
