Stochastic Curtailment in Adaptive Mastery Testing: Improving the Efficiency of Confidence Interval–Based Stopping Rules
A well-known stopping rule in adaptive mastery testing is to terminate the assessment once the examinee’s ability confidence interval lies entirely above or below the cut-off score. This article proposes new procedures that seek to improve such a variable-length stopping rule by coupling it with curtailment and stochastic curtailment. Under the new procedures, test termination can occur earlier...
متن کاملCurtailment and Stochastic Curtailment to Shorten the CES
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression (CES-D) scale is a well-known self-report instrument that is used to measure depressive symptomatology. Respondents who take the fulllength version of the CES-D are administered a total of 20 items. This article investigates the use of curtailment and stochastic curtailment (SC), two sequential analysis methods that have recently been proposed for...

متن کاملAdaptive Mastery Testing Using the Rasch Model and Bayesian Sequential Decision Theory
A version of sequential mastery testing is studied in which response behavior is modeled by an item response theory (IRT) model. First, a general theoretical framework is sketched that is based on a combination of Bayesian sequential decision theory and item response theory. A discussion follows on how IRT based sequential mastery testing can be generalized to adaptive item and testlet selectio...
متن کاملSimple Estimators for the Simple Latent Class Mastery Testing Model
Latent class models for mastery testing differ from continuum models in that they do not postulate a latent mastery continuum but conceive mastery and nonmastery as two latent classes each characterized by different probabilities of success for the test items. Several authors, including Emrick and Adams (1969), Besel (1973), Davis, Hickman, and Novick (1973), and Macready and Dayton (1977), giv...
