ISBN 978-91-554-9089-8. The statistical practice of equating is needed when scores on different versions of the same standardized test are to be compared. This thesis constitutes four contributions...
متن کاملIRT Observed-Score Kernel Equating with the R Package kequate
The R package kequate enables observed-score equating using the kernel method of test equating. We present the recent developments of kequate, which provide additional support for item-response theory observed score equating using 2-PL and 3-PL models in the equivalent groups design and non-equivalent groups with anchor test design using chain equating. The implementation also allows for local ...
متن کاملA comparison of Van der Linden's conditional equipercentile equating method with other equating methods under the random groups design
To ensure test security and fairness, alternative forms of the same test are administered in practice. However, alternative forms of the same test generally do not have the same test difficulty level, even though alternative test forms are designed to be as parallel as possible. Equating adjusts for differences in difficulties among forms of the test. Six traditional equating methods are consid...
متن کاملSampling of Common Items: an Unrecognized Source of Error in Test Equating1
There is variability in the estimation of an equating transformation because commonitem parameters are obtained from responses of samples of examinees. The most commonly used standard error of equating quantifies this source of sampling error, which decreases as the sample size of examinees used to derive the transformation increases. In a similar way of reasoning, the common items that are emb...
متن کاملSelection the best Method of Equating Using Anchor-Test Design in Item Response Theory
Explaining the problem. The equating process is used to compare the scores of the two different tests with the same theme. The goal of this research is finding the best method of equating data using Logistic model. Method. we are using the data of Ph.D. test in Statistic major for two consecutive years 92 and 93. For analyzing, we are specifically using the tests of Statistics major ...
