Full Information Optimal Scoring
Ramsay, James; Wiberg, Marie; Li, Juan
Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, v45 n3 p297-315 Jun 2020
Ramsay and Wiberg used a new version of item response theory that represents test performance over nonnegative closed intervals such as [0, 100] or [0, n] and demonstrated that optimal scoring of binary test data yielded substantial improvements in point-wise root-mean-squared error and bias over number right or sum scoring. We extend these results by showing that optimal scoring of the full information in option choices produces about as much further improvement in these measures of score performance as was achieved by going from sum scoring to optimal binary scoring.
