The Asymptotic Equating Methodology and Other Test Equating Evaluation Procedures
… to evaluate the asymptotic performance of test equating methods and of various test equating indices. A test theoretic viewpoint is taken to develop the asymptotic equating methodology and the conditional equating analyses methodology. An asymptotic equating study may be thought of as a …

A comparison of kernel equating and item response theory true score equating
… the accuracy of NEAT-design IRT true score equating (TIRT) and kernel equating (KE) in different conditions. The relative accuracy of three methods (Stocking-Lord transformation based TIRT (SL TIRT), kernel chain equipercentile equating (KE CE) and kernel post-stratification equating (KE …

A Comparison of Kernel Equating and Traditional Equipercentile Equating Methods and the Parametric Bootstrap Methods for Estimating Standard Errors in Equipercentile Equating
… study used simulation (a) to compare the kernel equating method to traditional equipercentile equating methods under the equivalent-groups (EG) design and the nonequivalent-groups with anchor test (NEAT) design and (b) to apply the parametric bootstrap method for estimating standard errors of …

Computerized Adaptive Testing and Equating Methods With Nonparametric IRT Models
… forms of nonparametric IRT models make test equating more challenging. Though linear equating under parametric IRT models is obvious and appropriate, it might not be appropriate for nonparametric models. Two approaches are proposed for test equating and examined through simulation as well as …

The "Fair" Triathlon: Equating Standard Deviations Using Non-Linear Bayesian Models
… We use this model to create "fair" triathlons by equating the standard deviations of the times taken to complete the swimming, cycling, and running events. Thus, in these "fair" triathlons, a one standard deviation improvement in any event has an equivalent impact on overall race time.</p>

Equating discriminability of subjective contours across the visual field requires two scaling factors
Performance in visual tasks can often be equated across eccentricities by proper scaling. The scaling or inverse magnification function (EMF), describes the ratio of peripheral to foveal stimulus size required to equate performance. Tasks and visual brain regions have different IMFs. It is argued …

Measuring Change in Jurisdiction Achievement over Time: Equating Issues in Current International Assessment Programs
… addresses the potential impact of the different equating methodologies used in current international assessments on the accurate estimates of change in jurisdiction achievement over time. The results of the study demonstrate that the different equating methodologies implemented through the Item …

The fallacy of equating "blindness" with fairness : ensuring trust in machine learning applications to consumer credit
Fifty years ago, the United States Congress coalesced around a vision for fair consumer credit: equally accessible by all consumers, and developed on accurate and relevant information, with controls for consumer privacy. In two foundational pieces of legislation, the Fair Credit Reporting Act …

THE IMPACT OF ANCHOR ITEM EXPOSURE ON MEAN/SIGMA LINKING AND IRT TRUE SCORE EQUATING UNDER THE NEAT DESIGN
… scores must be equated. One of the most common equating designs is called the nonequivalent anchor test (NEAT) design. This equating design requires two forms of a test, each of which is given to a group of examinees one year apart. The two forms have a set of items in common, usually called the …

Effect of Sample Size on Irt Equating of Uni-Dimensional Tests in Common Item Non-Equivalent Group Design: a Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Test equating is important to large-scale testing programs because of the following two reasons: strict test security is a key concern for high-stakes tests and fairness of test equating is important for test takers. The question of adequacy of sample size often arises in test equating. However, …

The Robustness of Rasch True Score Preequating to Violations of Model Assumptions Under Equivalent and Nonequivalent Populations
… the feasibility of using Rasch true score preequating under violated model assumptions and nonequivalent populations. Dichotomous item responses were simulated using a compensatory two dimensional (2D) three parameter logistic (3PL) Item Response Theory (IRT) model. The Rasch model was used to …

A stepwise test characteristic curve method to detect item parameter drift
… assumption of item response theory (IRT) based equating is that the item parameters should be invariant over different testing occasions. Sometimes, however, item parameters do not remain invariant due to factors other than sampling error, and this is termed item parameter drift (IPD). Several …

A Contrastive Analysis of Persian and English Reported Speech and the Effects of Interference and Transfer in Learning English as A Foreign Language
Problem. By equating the processes of child first language acquisition, with those of adult foreign language learning, some scholars have been tempted to minimize the use of native language transfer strategy used by adults while performing in a foreign language. Nevertheless, there are some ot

An Empirical Investigation of the Validity of Secondary School Institutions Student Selection and Placement Test (Ssisspt) in Turkey
… items before using them in the operational test, equating the test forms from year to year, keeping the same number of items for primary content areas as well as for secondary content areas, and collecting further background information on examinees were recommended for the future forms of the …

Dynamic Critical Phenomena of the Superconducting Transition
… that a key assumption is found not to hold true. Equating Monte Carlo time to real time is believed to reproduce relaxational dynamics, but this is found not to be the case for the vortex loop model. A generalization of the standard Monte Carlo algorithm is proposed to deal with situations where …
