Kullback-Leibler information and its applications in multidimensional adaptive testing
… paper first discusses the relationship between Kullback-Leibler information (KL) and Fisher information in the context of multi-dimensional item response theory and is further interpreted for the two-dimensional case, from a geometric perspective. This explication should allow for a better …

Computerized Adaptive Testing---New Developments and Applications
… selection on the basis of likelihood-weighted Kullback-Leibler information and distance-weighted Kullback-Leibler information.

Test Discrimination and Test Construction for Cognitive Diagnosis
… and three attribute level CDM indices based on Kullback-Leibler information. These indices will serve as measures of how informative an item is for the classification of examinees. The association of each index with correct classification rates is validated to support their use in test …

Minimum description complexity
… of a criterion for model set comparison. Pioneer information theoretic based approaches to this problem are Akaike information criterion (AIC) and different forms of minimum description length (MDL). The prior assumption in these methods is that the unknown true model is a member of all the …

Essays on choice modeling
… set up to analyze the performance of different information criteria and tests used to discriminate between models, either nested or non-nested. In particular, within non-nested models, four criteria and three tests are assessed, all of them based on the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion …

Item selection methods in multidimensional computerized adaptive testing adopting polytomously-scored items under multidimensional generalized partial credit model
… Item selection methods examined include Fisher information based D-optimality (D-optimality), Kullback-Leibler information index (KI), mutual information (MI), and continuous entropy method (CEM). The three test formats considered are the POLYTYPE format that contains polytomous items with three …
