[Equating scores using bridging stations on the clinical performance examination].
PURPOSE This study examined the use of the Tucker linear equating method in producing an individual student's score in 3 groups with bridging stations over 3 consecutive days of the clinical performance examination (CPX) and compared the differences in scoring patterns by bridging number. METHODS Data were drawn from 88 examinees from 3 different CPX groups-DAY1, DAY2, and DAY3-each of which ...
متن کاملA general equation to obtain multiple cut-off scores on a test from multinomial logistic regression.
The authors derive a general equation to compute multiple cut-offs on a total test score in order to classify individuals into more than two ordinal categories. The equation is derived from the multinomial logistic regression (MLR) model, which is an extension of the binary logistic regression (BLR) model to accommodate polytomous outcome variables. From this analytical procedure, cut-off score...
متن کاملA Comparison of Four Test Equating Methods
This research evaluated the effectiveness of identifying students’ real gains through the application of four commonly used equating methods: concurrent calibration (CC) equating, fixed common item parameter (FCIP) equating, Stocking and Lord test characteristic curve (TCC) equating, and mean/sigma (M/S) equating. The performance of the four procedures was evaluated using simulated data for a t...
متن کاملIntroducing equating methodologies to compare test scores from two different self-regulation scales.
Standardizing the measurement tools that researchers use to assess the effectiveness of interventions would strengthen our ability to compare results across studies. In practice, however, standardization is difficult to implement, in part, because researchers prefer to use measurement tools that focus specifically on the components of their interventions. This paper demonstrates the usefulness ...
متن کاملEquating scores of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test and Sniffin' Sticks test in patients with Parkinson's disease
BACKGROUND Impaired olfaction is an important feature in Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurological diseases. A variety of smell identification tests exist such as "Sniffin' Sticks" and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). An important part of research is being able to replicate findings or combining studies in a meta-analysis. This is difficult if olfaction ha...
