Some Reliability Estimates for Computerized Adaptive Tests.
Nicewander, W. Alan; Thomasson, Gary L.
Applied Psychological Measurement, v23 n3 p239-47 Sep 1999
Derives three reliability estimates for the Bayes modal estimate (BME) and the maximum-likelihood estimate (MLE) of theta in computerized adaptive tests (CATs). Computes the three reliability estimates and the true reliabilities of both BME and MLE for seven simulated CATs. Results show the true reliabilities for BME and MLE to be nearly identical for all seven tests. (SLD)
