Comparing the Effectiveness of Several IRT Based Appropriateness Measures in Detecting Unusual Response Patterns.
Birenbaum, Menucha
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v45 n3 p523-34 Aut 1985
Nine indices of response pattern appropriateness were compared, based on item response theory, with respect to their relation to the total test score and their effectiveness in detecting unusual response patterns. The ability to differentiate between three groups was compared: cooperative examinees, uncooperative examinees, and randomly generated response patterns. (Author/GDC)
