This study used simulation to investigate the performance of the t-test method in detecting outliers and compared its performance with other outlier detection methods, including the logit difference method with 0.5 and 0.3 as the cutoff values and the robust z statistic with 2.7 as the cutoff value.

Integrating Timing Considerations to Improve Testing Practices

This chapter addresses timing considerations in the context of other types of performance assessments and reports on a previously unpublished experiment examining timing with respect to performance on computer-based case simulations that are used in physician licensure.

Handbook of Automated Scoring

In this chapter we describe the historical background that led to development of the simulations and the subsequent refinement of the construct that occurred as the interface was being developed. We then describe the evolution of the automated scoring procedures from linear regression modeling to rule-based procedures.
