Nonlinear sequential designs for logistic item response theory models with applications to computerized adaptive tests
Logistic 项目反应模型的非线性序贯设计及计算机自适应测验应用
Computerized adaptive testing is becoming increasingly popular due to advancement of modern computer technology. It differs from the conventional standardized testing in that the selection of test items is tailored to individual examinee’s ability level. Arising from this selection strategy is a nonlinear sequential design problem. We study, in this paper, the sequential design problem in the context of the logistic item response theory models. We show that the adaptive…
