Li, Ying; Jiao, Hong; Lissitz, Robert W. – Journal of Applied Testing Technology, 2012
This study investigated the application of multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models to validate test structure and dimensionality. Multiple content areas or domains within a single subject often exist in large-scale achievement tests. Such areas or domains may cause multidimensionality or local item dependence, which both violate the…
