Bayesian Identification of Outliers in Computerized Adaptive Tests
计算机化自适应测试中异常作答者的贝叶斯识别
We consider the problem of identifying examinees with aberrant response patterns in a computerized adaptive test (CAT). The vector Y of responses of an examinee from a CAT is a multivariate response vector. Multivariate observations may be outlying in many different directions, and we characterize specific directions as corresponding to outliers with different interpretations. We develop a class of outlier statistics to identify different types of outliers based on a control…
