Handbook of Item Response Theory, Volume Three: Applications

Wim J. van der Linden (editor) · 2018

The third volume of a comprehensive three-volume handbook on Item Response Theory, focusing on practical applications across item calibration, person fit, test design, and diverse fields including psychological testing, health measurement, and marketing research. Includes chapters on IRT software packages and computational tools.

mind-and-cognition

Computerized adaptive testing aims to enhance efficiency and precision in measurement by optimizing tests for individual examinees.
HIRT-RC-552
MPWI provides excellent measurement precision, comparable to other computationally intensive Bayesian selection criteria.
HIRT-RC-554

education-and-formation

The calibration of items in educational testing is often a very laborious and expensive process, especially in large-scale programs such as TOEFL, GRE, and SAT.
HIRT-RC-015
The power to detect aberrant response behavior is generally limited — at best an encouragement to further scrutiny on high-stakes tests.
HIRT-RC-112

work-as-meaning

WinGen was developed to simulate IRT data for as many models as possible, facilitating design and implementation of computer simulation studies in psychometrics.
HIRT-RC-548
Newer versions contain technical improvements reducing computation time enormously through multiple processors and analytic expressions replacing numerical derivatives.
