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 کاملA simple descriptive method for multidimensional item response theory based on stochastic dominance
In this paper we develop a descriptive concept of a (partially) ordinal joint scaling of items and persons in the context of (dichotomous) item response analysis. The developed method has to be understood as a purely descriptive method describing relations among the data observed in a given item response data set, it is not intended to directly measure some presumed underlying latent traits. We...
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 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 کاملOn Separable Tests, Correlated Priors and Paradoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory
This note considers the problem of paradoxical results in multidimensional item response theory. This is the possibility that a deliberately incorrect response could be beneficial to an examinee. An example is created that demonstrates that, when three or more ability dimensions are considered, paradoxical results can occur for Bayesian estimates even for separable tests when all the dimensions...
