Bayesian Computerized Adaptive Testing
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) comes with many advantages. Unfortunately, it still is quite expensive to develop and maintain an operational CAT. In this paper, various steps involved in developing an operational CAT are described and literature on these topics is reviewed. Bayesian CAT is introduced as an alternative, and the use of empirical priors is proposed for estimating item and per...
متن کاملComputerized Adaptive Testing
A method of item pool design is proposed that uses an optimal blueprint for the item pool calculated from the test specifications. The blueprint is a document that specifies the attributes that the items in the computerized adaptive test (CAT) pool should have. The blueprint can be a starting point for the item writing process, and it can be used to assemble item pools in a system of rotating p...
متن کاملComputerized Adaptive Testing for Cognitive Diagnosis
Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has become a popular testing mode in recent decades, because it improves testing efficiency over paper-and-pencil testing while maintaining accuracy. Usually CAT programs are built upon latent trait item response theory models. Cognitive diagnostic models, on the other hand, are constrained latent class models. It is of interest to both researchers and practi...
متن کاملProbabilistic Models for Computerized Adaptive Testing: Experiments
This paper follows previous research we have already performed in the area of Bayesian networks models for CAT. We present models using Item Response Theory (IRT standard CAT method), Bayesian networks, and neural networks. We conducted simulated CAT tests on empirical data. Results of these tests are presented for each model separately and compared.
متن کاملAre we ready for computerized adaptive testing?
369 Gibbons and colleagues’ article (1) in this issue highlights an emerging methodology of considerable value to psychiatric services. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) has multiple advantages over standard paper-and-pencil assessment tools (2). CAT uses existing data to streamline and individualize the measurement process. By selecting items of particular relevance to an individual responde...
