A Comparison of the One- and Three-Parameter Logistic Models on Measures of Test Efficiency.
Benson, Jeri
Educational Research Quarterly, v7 n2 p21-30 Sum 1982
An empirical comparison of the relative efficiency of verbal aptitude tests developed using two latent trait methods, the one- and three-parameter logistic models, is presented. When a well-defined item pool was used, the simple one-parameter logistic model was as efficient as the more complex model. (Author/PN)
