Selection the best Method of Equating Using Anchor-Test Design‎ in Item Response Theory ‎‎

Authors

Abstract:

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 which includes 45 questions‎. ‎Parameters of test and ability of individuals are considered according to the three parametrs model and by using the MULTILOG software‎. ‎In this study‎, ‎we are using the Mean-mean‎, ‎Mean-Sigma‎, ‎Haebara‎, ‎and Stocking-Lord methods by considering the unequal groups with Anchor-test design‎, ‎and we are using the root mean square error for choosing the optimal solution. ‎ Conclusion. The results of this study show that the methods under characteristic curve are more accurate‎.

Practical Consequences of Item Response Theory Model Misfit in the Context of Test Equating with Mixed-Format Test Data

In item response theory (IRT) models, assessing model-data fit is an essential step in IRT calibration. While no general agreement has ever been reached on the best methods or approaches to use for detecting misfit, perhaps the more important comment based upon the research findings is that rarely does the research evaluate IRT misfit by focusing on the practical consequences of misfit. The stu...

Test Equating of the Medical Licensing Examination in 2003 and 2004 Based on the Item Response Theory

The passing rate of the Medical Licensing Examination has been variable, which probably originated from the difference in the difficulty of items and/or difference in the ability level of examinees. We tried to explain the origin of the difference using the test equating method based on the item response theory. The number of items and examinees were 500, 3,647 in 2003 and 550, 3,879 in 2004. C...
