Developments in Latent Trait Theory: Models, Technical Issues, and Applications.
And Others; Hambleton, Ronald K.
Review of Educational Research, v48 n4 p467-510 Fall 1978
Topics concerning latent trait theory are addressed: (1) dimensionality of latent space, local independence, and item characteristic curves; (2) models--equations, parameter estimation, testing assumptions, and goodness of fit, (3) applications test developments, item bias, tailored testing and equating; and (4) advantages over classical approaches to solving measurement problems.
