Estimating Ability with Three Item Response Models when the Models are Wrong and Their Parameters are Inaccurate.
Jones, Douglas H.; And Others – 1984
How accurately ability is estimated when the test model does not fit the data is considered. To address this question, this study investigated the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimator of ability for the one-, two- and three-parameter logistic (PL) models. The models were fitted into generated item characteristic curves derived from the…
