Asymptotic Standard Errors of IRT Equating Coefficients Using Moments
The asymptotic standard errors of the IRT equating coefficients given by the mean/sigma, mean/mean and mean/geometric mean methods are derived when the two-parameter logistic model holds and item parameters are obtained by the marginal maximum likelihood estimation. The case of two nonequivalent examinee-groups and the case of single group are considered. The numerical examples show that the me...
متن کاملA traceable optimistic fair exchange protocol in the standard model
An Optimistic Fair Exchange (OFE) protocol is a good way for two parties to exchange their digital items in a fair way such that at the end of the protocol execution, both of them receive their items or none of them receive anything. In an OFE protocol there is a semi-trusted third party, named arbitrator, which involves in the protocol if it is necessary. But there is a security problem when a...
متن کاملSix Standard Deviations Suffice
With χ : Ω → {−1,+1} random, A ∈ A, χ(A) has zero mean and standard deviation at most √ n. If |χ(A)| > 6√n then χ(A) is at least six standard deviations off the mean. The probability of this occurring is very small but a fixed positive constant and the number of sets A is going to infinity. In fact, a random χ almost always will not work. The specific constant 6 (actually 5.32) was the result o...
متن کاملEstimating true standard deviations
A basic statistic that students learn about in their classes is the standard deviation. Like any statistic, standard deviations are influenced by systematic factors and randomness. I propose that researchers should report “corrected” or “true” standard deviations and I show how to calculate them. The notion of “true” statistics comes out of classical test theory (see Lord and Novick, 1968; Gull...
متن کاملSix Standard Deviations Suffice
Given n sets on n elements it is shown that there exists a two-coloring such that all sets have discrepancy at most Kn>/2, K an absolute constant. This improves the basic probabilistic method with which K = c(ln«)1/2. The result is extended to 11 finite sets of arbitrary size. Probabilistic techniques are melded with the pigeonhole principle. An alternate proof of the existence of Rudin-Shapiro...
