Wilcox, Rand R.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n4 p1051-68 Win 1981
A formal framework is presented for determining which of the distractors of multiple-choice test items has a small probability of being chosen by a typical examinee. The framework is based on a procedure similar to an indifference zone formulation of a ranking and election problem. (Author/BW)
