A priori reliability of tests with cut score.
The theoretical probability of misclassification in a mastery test is exactly computed using the raw score probability distribution (in the Rasch model) as a function of the examinee's latent ability. The resulting misclassification probability curve, together with the latent ability distribution in the group of examinees, completely determines the expected rate of classification errors. It is ...
متن کاملA cut-based method for terminal-pair reliability
Conclusions This paper assesses two categories of partition techniques for computing terminal-pair reliability (pathbased and cut-based algorithms) by experimenting on published benchmarks; the criteria are the number of subproblems and the computation time. The cut-based algorithm is superior to the pathbased algorithm with respect to the computation time for most benchmarks. A refinement of t...
متن کاملEstablishing pass/fail criteria for bronchoscopy performance.
BACKGROUND Several tools have been created to assess competence in bronchoscopy. However, educational guidelines still use an arbitrary number of performed procedures to decide when basic competency is acquired. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to define pass/fail scores for two bronchoscopy assessment tools, and investigate how these scores relate to physicians' experience regarding ...
متن کاملThe reliability of the pass/fail decision for assessments comprised of multiple components
OBJECTIVE The decision having the most serious consequences for a student taking an assessment is the one to pass or fail that student. For this reason, the reliability of the pass/fail decision must be determined for high quality assessments, just as the measurement reliability of the point values. Assessments in a particular subject (graded course credit) are often composed of multiple compon...
متن کاملThe Objective Borderline method (OBM): A probability-based model for determining an objective Pass/Fail cut-off score for Borderline grades
The decision to pass or fail a student is the most critical in ‘high stakes’ examinations. This study introduces and validates a new probabilistic-based standard-setting method for determining the pass/fail cut-off score from borderline grades named the Objective Borderline method (OBM). The OBM sets up the cut-score based on the distribution of the Pass, Borderline and Fail grades within a giv...
