Assessing parameter invariance in item response theory’s logistic two item parameter model: A Monte Carlo investigation
Statistical properties of the ability level estimate ( ) in item response theory (IRT) were investigated through a Monte Carlo investigation, based on data generated with a four cases multifactor design. Dichotomous items and the logistic two-parameter IRT model in a one-dimensional setting have been chosen. The estimation procedure was the marginalized Bayesian item parameters estimation and E...
متن کاملEstimation of a four-parameter item response theory model.
We explore the justification and formulation of a four-parameter item response theory model (4PM) and employ a Bayesian approach to recover successfully parameter estimates for items and respondents. For data generated using a 4PM item response model, overall fit is improved when using the 4PM rather than the 3PM or the 2PM. Furthermore, although estimated trait scores under the various models ...
متن کاملA Skew Item Response Model
We introduce a new skew-probit link for item response theory (IRT) by considering an accumulated skew-normal distribution. The model extends the symmetric probit-normal IRT model by considering a new item (or skewness) parameter for the item characteristic curve. A special interpretation is given for this parameter, and a latent linear structure is indicated for the model when an augmented like...
متن کاملReversed item bias: an integrative model.
In the recent methodological literature, various models have been proposed to account for the phenomenon that reversed items (defined as items for which respondents' scores have to be recoded in order to make the direction of keying consistent across all items) tend to lead to problematic responses. In this article we propose an integrative conceptualization of three important sources of revers...
متن کاملItem Bias Detection using the Log linear Rasch Model
A method is proposed for the detection of item bias with respect to observed or unobserved subgroups. The method uses quasi-loglinear models for the incomplete subgroup x testscore x item 1 x x itek k contingency table. If subgroup membership is unknown the models are Haberman's incomplete-latent-class models. The (conditional) Rasch model is formulated as a quasi-loglinear model. The parameter...
