This article extends the work by Armstrong and Shi on CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) person-fit methodology. The authors present new theoretical considerations concerning the use of CUSUM person-fit statistics based on likelihood ratios for the purpose of detecting cheating and random guessing by individual test takers. According to the Neyman-Pearson…

Fox, Jean-Paul; Meijer, Rob R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
The authors discuss a new method that combines the randomized response technique with item response theory. This method allows the researcher to obtain information at the individual person level without knowing the true responses. With this new method, it is possible to compare groups of individuals by means of analysis of variance or regression…

This study investigated statistical properties of the K-index (Holland, 1996) that can be used to detect copying behavior on tests. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the applicability of the K-index for small, medium, and large datasets. In addition, the Type I error rate and the detection rate of this index were compared with the…

Studied the statistical properties of the K-index (P. Holland, 1996) that can be used to detect copying behavior on a test through a simulation study of the use of the K-statistic with small, medium, and large datasets. Also compared the Type I error rate and detection rate of this index with those of the copying index (J. Wollack, 1997).…

Proposed two new indices to detect answer copying on a multiple choice test and conducted a simulation study to investigate the usefulness of both indexes. Discusses conditions under which the proposed indexes can be useful. (SLD)

Sotaridona, Leonardo S.; van der Linden, Wim J.; Meijer, Rob R. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2006
A statistical test for detecting answer copying on multiple-choice tests based on Cohen's kappa is proposed. The test is free of any assumptions on the response processes of the examinees suspected of copying and having served as the source, except for the usual assumption that these processes are probabilistic. Because the asymptotic null and…

Sotaridona, Leonardo S.; Meijer, Rob R. – 2001
Two new indices to detect answer copying on a multiple-choice test, S(1) and S(2) (subscripts), are proposed. The S(1) index is similar to the K-index (P. Holland, 1996) and the K-overscore(2), (K2) index (L. Sotaridona and R. Meijer, in press), but the distribution of the number of matching incorrect answers of the source (examinee s) and the…
