However, it tends to be less efficient in the near-cut regions of the ? scale, as the CI often fails to be narrow enough for an early termination decision prior to reaching the maximum test length. To solve this problem, this study proposed the projection-based stopping rules that base the termination decisions on the algorithmically projected range of the final ? estimate at the hypothetical completion of the CAT. A simulation study and an empirical study were conducted to show the advantages of the projection-based rules over the CI rule, in which the projection-based rules reduced the test length without jeopardizing critical psychometric qualities of the test, such as the ? and classification precision. Operationally, these rules do not require additional regularization parameters, because the projection is simply a hypothetical extension of the current test within the existing CAT environment. Because these new rules are specifically designed to address the decreased efficiency in the near-cut regions as opposed to for the entire scale, the authors recommend using them in conjunction with the CI rule in practice.}, isbn = {0146-6216}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1177/0146621617726790}, author = {Luo, Xiao and Kim, Doyoung and Dickison, Philip} } @article {2505, title = {Parameter Drift Detection in Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing Based on Informational Distance/Divergence Measures}, journal = {Applied Psychological Measurement}, volume = {40}, number = {7}, year = {2016}, pages = {534-550}, abstract = {An informational distance/divergence-based approach is proposed to detect the presence of parameter drift in multidimensional computerized adaptive testing (MCAT).

This study compared various panel designs of the multistage test (MST) using mixed-format tests in the context of classification testing. Simulations varied the design of the first-stage module. The first stage was constructed according to three levels of test information functions (TIFs) with three different TIF centers. Additional computerized adaptive test (CAT) conditions provided baseline comparisons. Three passing rate conditions were also included. The various MST conditions using mixed-format tests were constructed properly and performed well. When the levels of TIFs at the first stage were higher, the simulations produced a greater number of correct classifications. CAT with the randomesque-10 procedure yielded comparable results to the MST with increased levels of TIFs. Finally, all MST conditions achieved better test security results compared with CAT\’s maximum information conditions.

It is shown that deviations of estimated from true values of item difficulty parameters, caused for example by item calibration errors, the neglect of randomness of item difficulty parameters, testlet effects, or rule-based item generation, can lead to systematic bias in point estimation of person parameters in the context of adaptive testing. This effect occurs even when the errors of the item difficulty parameters are themselves unbiased. Analytical calculations as well as simulation studies are discussed.

Computer-adaptive classification tests focus on classifying respondents in different proficiency groups (e.g., for pass/fail decisions). To date, adaptive classification testing has been dominated by research on dichotomous response formats and classifications in two groups. This article extends this line of research to polytomous classification tests for two- and three-group scenarios (e.g., inferior, mediocre, and superior proficiencies). Results of two simulation experiments with generated and real responses (N = 2,000) to established personality scales of different length (12, 20, or 29 items) demonstrate that adaptive item presentations significantly reduce the number of items required to make such classification decisions while maintaining a consistent classification accuracy. Furthermore, the simulations highlight the importance of the selected test termination criterion, which has a significant impact on the average test length.

To date, exposure control procedures that are designed to control test overlap in computerized adaptive tests (CATs) are based on the assumption of item sharing between pairs of examinees. However, in practice, examinees may obtain test information from more than one previous test taker. This larger scope of information sharing needs to be considered in conducting test overlap control. The purpose of this study is to propose a test overlap control method such that the proportion of overlapping items encountered by an examinee with a group of previous examinees (described as general test overlap rate) can be controlled. Results indicated that item exposure rate and general test overlap rate could be simultaneously controlled by implementing the procedure. In addition, these two indices were controlled on the fly without any iterative simulations conducted prior to operational CATs. Thus, the proposed procedure would be an efficient method for controlling both the item exposure and general test overlap in CATs.

Item response theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT) techniques can increase reliability and statistical power. IRT-based instruments can improve measurement precision substantially over a wider range of disease severity. These modern methods were applied and the magnitude of improvement was estimated. METHODS: A 199-item physical function/disability item bank was developed by distilling 1865 items to 124, including Legacy Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Physical Function-10 items, and improving precision through qualitative and quantitative evaluation in over 21,000 subjects, which included about 1500 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Four new instruments, (A) Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information (PROMIS) HAQ, which evolved from the original (Legacy) HAQ; (B) "best" PROMIS 10; (C) 20-item static (short) forms; and (D) simulated PROMIS CAT, which sequentially selected the most informative item, were compared with the HAQ. RESULTS: Online and mailed administration modes yielded similar item and domain scores. The HAQ and PROMIS HAQ 20-item scales yielded greater information content versus other scales in patients with more severe disease. The "best" PROMIS 20-item scale outperformed the other 20-item static forms over a broad range of 4 standard deviations. The 10-item simulated PROMIS CAT outperformed all other forms. CONCLUSION: Improved items and instruments yielded better information. The PROMIS HAQ is currently available and considered validated. The new PROMIS short forms, after validation, are likely to represent further improvement.

This paper examines ways of dealing with responses in a {\textquoteright}not applicable{\textquoteright} category to items included in the AMC Linear Disability Score (ALDS) project item bank. METHODS: The data examined in this paper come from the responses of 392 respondents to 32 items and form part of the calibration sample for the ALDS item bank. The data are analysed using the one-parameter logistic item response theory model. The four practical strategies for dealing with this type of response are: cold deck imputation; hot deck imputation; treating the missing responses as if these items had never been offered to those individual patients; and using a model which takes account of the {\textquoteright}tendency to respond to items{\textquoteright}. RESULTS: The item and respondent population parameter estimates were very similar for the strategies involving hot deck imputation; treating the missing responses as if these items had never been offered to those individual patients; and using a model which takes account of the {\textquoteright}tendency to respond to items{\textquoteright}. The estimates obtained using the cold deck imputation method were substantially different. CONCLUSIONS: The cold deck imputation method was not considered suitable for use in the ALDS item bank. The other three methods described can be usefully implemented in the ALDS item bank, depending on the purpose of the data analysis to be carried out. These three methods may be useful for other data sets examining similar constructs, when item response theory based methods are used.}, keywords = {*Disability Evaluation, *Health Surveys, *Logistic Models, *Questionnaires, Activities of Daily Living/*classification, Data Interpretation, Statistical, Health Status, Humans, Pilot Projects, Probability, Quality of Life, Severity of Illness Index}, isbn = {1477-7525 (Electronic)1477-7525 (Linking)}, author = {Holman, R. and Glas, C.

Psychometric properties of computerized testing, together with anxiety and comfort of examinees, are investigated in relation to item selection routine and the opportunity for response review. Two different hypotheses involving examinee anxiety were used to design test properties: perceived control and perceived performance. The study involved three types of administration of a computerized English test for Spanish speakers (adaptive, easy adaptive, and fixed) and four review conditions (no review, review at end, review by blocks of 5 items, and review item-by-item). These were applied to a sample of 557 first-year psychology undergraduate students to examine main and interaction effects of test type and review on psychometric and psychological variables. Statistically significant effects were found in test precision among the different types of test. Response review improved ability estimates and increased testing time. No psychological effects on anxiety were found. Examinees in all review conditions considered more important the possibility of review than those who were not allowed to review. These results concur with previous findings on examinees\&$\#$39; preference for item review and raise some issues that should be addressed in the field of tests with item review.

This design resulted in 132 conditions that were evaluated using a simulation study with 9000 examinees on several measures of overall measurement precision including reliability, the mean error and root mean squared error between true and estimated ability levels, classification precision including decision accuracy, false positive and false negative rates, and Kappa for cut scores corresponding to 30\%, 50\%, and 85\% failure rates, and conditional measurement precision with the conditional root mean squared error between true and estimated ability levels conditioned on 25 true ability levels. Test reliability, overall and conditional measurement precision, and classification precision increased with item pool quality and test length, and decreased with less adequate match between item pool and test specification match. In addition, as the maximum exposure rate decreased and the type of exposure control implemented became more restrictive, test reliability, overall and conditional measurement precision, and classification precision decreased. Within item pool quality, match between test and item pool content specifications, test length, and exposure control, CAT designs showed superior psychometric properties as compared to MST designs which in turn were superior to LFT designs. However, some caution is warranted in interpreting these results since the ability of the automated test assembly software to construct test that met specifications was limited in conditions where pool usage was high. The practical importance of the differences between test designs on the evaluation criteria studied is discussed with respect to the inferences test users seek to make from test scores and nonpsychometric factors that may be important in some testing programs.

Some examples of CATs involving performance standards include the registered nurse exam and the Novell systems engineer exam. Although CATs do not require separate standard setting-methods, there are special issues to be addressed by test specialist who set performance standards on CATs. Setting standards on a CAT will typical require modifications on the procedures used with more traditional, fixed-form, paper-and -pencil examinations. The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate why CATs pose special challenges to the standard setter.
