Detecting Context Dependence in Exercise Item Candidates Selected from Corpora
We explore the factors influencing the dependence of single sentences on their larger textual context in order to automatically identify candidate sentences for language learning exercises from corpora which are presentable in isolation. An in-depth investigation of this question has not been previously carried out. Understanding this aspect can contribute to a more efficient selection of candi...
متن کاملGender bias in the sixteen-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index: an application of polytomous differential item functioning.
Gender differences in measures of anxiety sensitivity (AS) are similar to gender differences across anxiety disorders; females exhibit higher levels of AS and a greater prevalence of anxiety disorders than males. The current study confirms higher scores on the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) in females. Further analysis reveals, however, that gender differences on the ASI may arise from a singl...
متن کاملModeling local item dependence with the hierarchical generalized linear model.
Local item dependence (LID) can emerge when the test items are nested within common stimuli or item groups. This study proposes a three-level hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) to model LID when LID is due to such contextual effects. The proposed three-level HGLM was examined by analyzing simulated data sets and was compared with the Rasch-equivalent two-level HGLM that ignores such a...
متن کاملCalibration of Polytomous Item Families Using Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling
For complex educational assessments, there is an increasing use of item families, which are groups of related items. However, calibration or scoring for such an assessment requires fitting models that take into account the dependence structure inherent among the items that belong to the same item family. Glas and van der Linden (2001) suggest a Bayesian hierarchical model to analyze data involv...
متن کاملRanking scientific journals via latent class models for polytomous item response data
We propose a strategy for ranking scientific journals starting from a set of available quantitative indicators that represent imperfect measures of the unobservable ‘value’ of the journals of interest. After discretizing the available indicators, we estimate a latent class model for polytomous item response data and use the estimated model to classify each journal. We apply the proposed approac...
