An investigation of bootstrap methods for estimating the standard error of equating under the common-item nonequivalent groups design

Wang, Chunxin - 2011

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of the parametric bootstrap method and to compare the parametric and nonparametric bootstrap methods for estimating the standard error of equating (SEE) under the common-item nonequivalent groups (CINEG) design with the frequency...

Augmented testing and effects on item and proficiency estimates in different calibration designs

Wall, Nathan Lane - 2011

Broadening the term augmented testing to include a combination of multiple measures to assess examinee performance on a single construct, the issues of IRT item parameter and proficiency estimates were investigated. The intent of this dissertation is to determine if different IRT calibration...

Unpacking student growth percentiles: statistical properties of regression-based approaches with implications for student and school classifications

Castellano, Katherine Elizabeth - 2011

The measurement of achievement growth raises many challenges, including how to define "growth" and select or develop a growth measure that captures that definition. Despite these complications, current federal educational policies focus on student growth measures for accountability purposes....

A comparison of statistics for selecting smoothing parameters for loglinear presmoothing and cubic spline postsmoothing under a random groups design

Liu, Chunyan - 2011

Smoothing techniques are designed to improve the accuracy of equating functions. The main purpose of this dissertation was to propose a new statistic (CS) and compare it to existing model selection strategies in selecting smoothing parameters for polynomial loglinear presmoothing (C) and cubic...

Estimating standard errors of estimated variance components in generalizability theory using bootstrap procedures

Moore, Joann Lynn - 2010

This study investigated the extent to which rules proposed by Tong and Brennan (2007) for estimating standard errors of estimated variance components held up across a variety of G theory designs, variance component structures, sample size patterns, and data types. Simulated data was generated...

Impact of matched samples equating methods on equating accuracy and the adequacy of equating assumptions

Powers, Sonya Jean - 2010

This dissertation investigates the interaction of population invariance, equating assumptions, and equating accuracy with group differences. In addition, matched samples equating methods are considered as a possible way to improve equating accuracy with large group differences.Data from one...

An assessment of the nonparametric approach for evaluating the fit of item response models

Liang, Tie - 2010

As item response theory (IRT) has developed and is widely applied, investigating the fit of a parametric model becomes an important part of the measurement process when implementing IRT. The usefulness and successes of IRT applications rely heavily on the extent to which the model reflects the...
