Springer International Publishing; 2019

 

This handbook provides an overview of major developments around diagnostic classification models (DCMs) with regard to modeling, estimation, model checking, scoring, and applications. It brings together not only the current state of the art, but also the theoretical background and models developed for diagnostic classification.

A Comparison of Strategies for Smoothing Parameter Selection for Mixed-Format Tests Under the Random Groups Design

Posted: | C. Liu, M. J. Kolen

Journal of Educational Measurement: Volume 55, Issue 4, Pages 564-581

 

Smoothing techniques are designed to improve the accuracy of equating functions. The main purpose of this study is to compare seven model selection strategies for choosing the smoothing parameter (C) for polynomial loglinear presmoothing and one procedure for model selection in cubic spline postsmoothing for mixed‐format pseudo tests under the random groups design.
