Application of Sampling Variance of Item Response Theory Parameter Estimates in Detecting Outliers in Common Item Equating

Posted: | Chunyan Liu, Daniel Jurich

Applied Psychological Measurement: Volume 46, issue 6, page(s) 529-547

 

The current simulation study demonstrated that the sampling variance associated with the item response theory (IRT) item parameter estimates can help detect outliers in the common items under the 2-PL and 3-PL IRT models. The results showed the proposed sampling variance statistic (SV) outperformed the traditional displacement method with cutoff values of 0.3 and 0.5 along a variety of evaluation criteria.
