A Stochastic Growth Model Applied to Repeated Tests of Academic Knowledge.

Albers, Wim; And Others

Psychometrika, v54 n3 p451-66 Sep 1989

A model is presented for the growth of knowledge reflected by 24 progress tests completed by approximately 600 students at the University of Limburg (Netherlands) Medical School. Based on the Rasch model, this model treats both the person's ability and the difficulty of the question as random variables. (SLD)
