Simple and Hierarchical Models for Stochastic Test Misgrading
نویسنده
چکیده
The test misgrading is treated in this paper as a stochastic process. Three characteristic values, the expected number of misgradings, the expected inter-occurrence time of misgradings, and the expected waiting time for the nth misgrading, are discussed based on a simple Poisson model and a hierarchical Beta-Poisson model. Regular tests for classroom teaching and the Test of Written English (TWE) in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) are illustrated as examples in the model construction.

Stochastic Models of Quality Control on Test Misgrading*
Stochastic models are developed in this article to examine the rate of test misgrading in educational and psychological measurement. The estimation of inadvertent grading errors can serve as a basis for quality control in measurement. Limitations of traditional Poisson models have been reviewed to highlight the need to introduce new models using well established geometric and negative binomial ...
متن کاملModels, solution, methods and their applicability of dynamic location problems (DLPs) (a gap analysis for further research)
Determining the best location to be profitable for the facility’s lifetime is the important decision of public and private firms, so this is why discussion about dynamic location problems (DLPs) is a critical significance. This paper presented a comprehensive review from 1968 up to most recent on published researches about DLPs and classified them into two parts. First, mathematical models deve...
متن کاملDetection of Outliers and Influential Observations in Linear Ridge Measurement Error Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions
The aim of this paper is to propose some diagnostic methods in linear ridge measurement error models with stochastic linear restrictions using the corrected likelihood. Based on the bias-corrected estimation of model parameters, diagnostic measures are developed to identify outlying and influential observations. In addition, we derive the corrected score test statistic for outliers detection ba...
متن کاملHydrological Drought Forecasting Using Stochastic Models (Case Study: Karkheh watershed Basin)
Hydrological drought refers to a persistently low discharge and volume of water in streams and reservoirs, lasting months or years. Hydrological drought is a natural phenomenon, but it may be exacerbated by human activities. Hydrological droughts are usually related to meteorological droughts, and their recurrence interval varies accordingly. This study pursues to identify a stochastic model (o...
متن کاملTesting for Stochastic Non- Linearity in the Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis
The Rational Expectations Permanent Income Hypothesis implies that consumption follows a martingale. However, most empirical tests have rejected the hypothesis. Those empirical tests are based on linear models. If the data generating process is non-linear, conventional tests may not assess some of the randomness properly. As a result, inference based on conventional tests of linear models can b...
