Reducing Attenuation Bias in Regression Analyses Involving Rating Scale Data via Psychometric Modeling Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Cees A. W. Glas, Terrence D. Jorgensen, Debby ten Hove
Many studies in fields such as psychology and educational sciences obtain information about attributes of subjects through observational studies, in which raters score subjects using multiple-item rating scales. Error variance due to measurement effects, such as items and raters, attenuate the regression coefficients and lower the power of (hierarchical) linear models. A modeling procedure is discussed

Sociocognitive and Argumentation Perspectives on Psychometric Modeling in Educational Assessment Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Robert J. Mislevy
Rapid advances in psychology and technology open opportunities and present challenges beyond familiar forms of educational assessment and measurement. Viewing assessment through the perspectives of complex adaptive sociocognitive systems and argumentation helps us extend the concepts and methods of educational measurement to new forms of assessment, such as those involving interaction in simulation

Efficient Corrections for Standardized Person-Fit Statistics Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 Kylie Gorney, Sandip Sinharay, Carol Eckerly
Many popular person-fit statistics belong to the class of standardized person-fit statistics, T, and are assumed to have a standard normal null distribution. However, in practice, this assumption is incorrect since T is computed using (a) an estimated ability parameter and (b) a finite number of items. Snijders (Psychometrika 66(3):331–342, 2001) developed mean and variance corrections for T to account

Sufficient and Necessary Conditions for the Identifiability of DINA Models with Polytomous Responses Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-22 Mengqi Lin, Gongjun Xu
Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) provide a powerful statistical and psychometric tool for researchers and practitioners to learn fine-grained diagnostic information about respondents’ latent attributes. There has been a growing interest in the use of CDMs for polytomous response data, as more and more items with multiple response options become widely used. Similar to many latent variable models,

DIF Analysis with Unknown Groups and Anchor Items Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-21
Abstract Ensuring fairness in instruments like survey questionnaires or educational tests is crucial. One way to address this is by a Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis, which examines if different subgroups respond differently to a particular item, controlling for their overall latent construct level. DIF analysis is typically conducted to assess measurement invariance at the item level

Using External Information for More Precise Inferences in General Regression Models Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Martin Jann, Martin Spiess
Empirical research usually takes place in a space of available external information, like results from single studies, meta-analyses, official statistics or subjective (expert) knowledge. The available information ranges from simple means and proportions to known relations between a multitude of variables or estimated distributions. In psychological research, external information derived from the named

A Spectral Method for Identifiable Grade of Membership Analysis with Binary Responses Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-15
Abstract Grade of membership (GoM) models are popular individual-level mixture models for multivariate categorical data. GoM allows each subject to have mixed memberships in multiple extreme latent profiles. Therefore, GoM models have a richer modeling capacity than latent class models that restrict each subject to belong to a single profile. The flexibility of GoM comes at the cost of more challenging

Item-Specific Factors in IRTree Models: When They Matter and When They Don’t Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2023-06-16 Thorsten Meiser, Fabiola Reiber
Lyu et al. (Psychometrika, 2023) demonstrated that item-specific factors can cause spurious effects on the structural parameters of IRTree models for multiple nested response processes per item. Here, we discuss some boundary conditions and argue that person selection effects on item parameters are not unique to item-specific factors and that the effects presented by Lyu et al.

In this paper, the support of the joint probability distribution of categorical variables in the total population is treated as unknown. From a general total population model with unknown support, a general subpopulation model with its support equal to the set of all observed score patterns is derived. In maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of any such subpopulation model, the evaluation

Measuring Agreement Using Guessing Models and Knowledge Coefficients Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2023-06-08 Jonas Moss
Several measures of agreement, such as the Perreault–Leigh coefficient, the \(\textsc {AC}_{1}\), and the recent coefficient of van Oest, are based on explicit models of how judges make their ratings. To handle such measures of agreement under a common umbrella, we propose a class of models called guessing models, which contains most models of how judges make their ratings. Every guessing model have

Advantages of Using Unweighted Approximation Error Measures for Model Fit Assessment Psychometrika (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2023-04-18 Dirk Lubbe
Fit indices are highly frequently used for assessing the goodness of fit of latent variable models. Most prominent fit indices, such as the root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) or the comparative fit index (CFI), are based on a noncentrality parameter estimate derived from the model fit statistic. While a noncentrality parameter estimate is well suited for quantifying the amount of systematic
