Conditional Statistical Inference with Multistage Testing Designs

Zwitser, Robert; Maris, Gunter - In: Psychometrika 80 (2015) 1, pp. 65-84

In this paper it is demonstrated how statistical inference from multistage test designs can be made based on the conditional likelihood. Special attention is given to parameter estimation, as well as the evaluation of model fit. Two reasons are provided why the fit of simple measurement models...

On the choice of regularization parameters in specification testing: a critical discussion

Sperlich, Stefan - In: Empirical Economics 47 (2014) 2, pp. 427-450

This article reviews and discusses the problem of choosing smoothing parameters and resampling schemes for specification tests in econometrics. While smoothing is used for the regularization of the non-specified parts of the null hypothesis and omnibus alternatives, the resampling serves for...

The Sequential Probability Ratio Test and Binary Item Response Models

Nydick, Steven W. - In: Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 39 (2014) 3, pp. 203-230

The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is a common method for terminating item response theory (IRT)-based adaptive classification tests. To decide whether a classification test should stop, the SPRT compares a simple log-likelihood ratio, based on the classification bound separating two...
