IRT Observed-Score Kernel Equating with the R Package kequate
The R package kequate enables observed-score equating using the kernel method of test equating. We present the recent developments of kequate, which provide additional support for item-response theory observed score equating using 2-PL and 3-PL models in the equivalent groups design and non-equivalent groups with anchor test design using chain equating. The implementation also allows for local ...
متن کاملtest score equating and fairness in language assessment
equating test scores is an important issue in large scale testing. almost all standardized tests have several forms which vary in difficulty. new forms are written and added every year. when the items in different forms of a test vary in difficulty, direct comparison of test-takers who have taken different forms and are at the same ability level is not possible; hence, the issue of test fairnes...
متن کاملCan IRT Solve the Missing Data Problem in Test Equating?
In this paper test equating is considered as a missing data problem. The unobserved responses of the reference population to the new test must be imputed to specify a new cutscore. The proportion of students from the reference population that would have failed the new exam and those having failed the reference exam are made approximately the same. We investigate whether item response theory (IR...
متن کاملA Comparison of Four Test Equating Methods
This research evaluated the effectiveness of identifying students’ real gains through the application of four commonly used equating methods: concurrent calibration (CC) equating, fixed common item parameter (FCIP) equating, Stocking and Lord test characteristic curve (TCC) equating, and mean/sigma (M/S) equating. The performance of the four procedures was evaluated using simulated data for a t...
