In doing so, information of individual distractors disappears. In this paper, a Rasch-type analysis is proposed where one parameter is assigned to each distractor. The information is thus preserved. The proposed distractor model can be applied to investigate the performance of distractors, which is useful for item revision. This model is a necessary condition of the Rasch model, that is, fitting the distractor model will fit the Rasch model, but not vice versa. The results of a small simulation study show that parameter recovery of the distractor model is very satisfactory. A real data set of twenty multiple-choice items was analyzed. Some items were found to fit the Rasch model rather than the distractor model.

{"title":"Corrected Rasch asymptotic standard errors for person ability estimates.","authors":"R M Smith","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Most calibration programs designed for the family of Rasch psychometric models report the asymptotic standard errors for person and item measure estimates resulting from the calibration process. Although these estimates are theoretically correct, they may be influenced by any number of factors, e.g., restrictions due to the loss of degrees of freedom in estimation, targeting of the instrument, i.e., the degree of offset between mean item difficulty and mean person ability, and the presence of misfit in the data. The effect of these factors on the standard errors reported for the person has not been previously reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of these three factors on the asymptotic standard errors for person measures using simulated data. The results indicate that asymptotic errors systematically underestimate the observed standard deviation of ability in simulated data, though this underestimation is usually small for targeted instruments with reasonable sample size. However, the underestimation can easily be corrected with a simple linear function. These simulations use only dichotomous data and the results may not generalize to the rating scale and partial credit models.</p>","PeriodicalId":79673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of outcome measurement","volume":"2 4","pages":"351-64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20715781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work culminated in a variety of transformations to convert the mean squares into approximate t-statistics. This work was primarily motivated by the influence sample size has on the magnitude of the mean squares and the desire to have a single critical value that can generally be applied to most cases. In the late 1980's and the early 1990's the trend seems to have reversed, with numerous researchers using the untransformed fit mean squares as a means of testing fit to the Rasch measurement models. The principal motivation is cited as the influence sample size has on the sensitivity of the t-converted mean squares. The purpose of this paper is to present the historical development of these fit indices and the various transformations and to examine the impact of sample size on both the fit mean squares and the t-transformations of those mean squares. Because the sample size problem has little influence on the person mean square problem, due to the relatively short length (100 items or less), this paper focuses on the item fit mean squares, where it is common to find the statistics used with sample sizes ranging from 30 to 10,000.</p>","PeriodicalId":79673,"journal":{"name":"Journal of outcome measurement","volume":"2 1","pages":"66-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20579249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 50-item scale to measure psychomotor self-efficacy was administered to a total of 2,022 children, including 1,009 boys and 1,013 girls. The data analysis started by collapsing the original five adjacent categories into two, three, and four categories, and a total of 14 data sets were derived. Each of these data sets, including the original one, was analyzed using the Rasch rating scale model, and a set of Rasch model-data fit, category, and separation statistics and parameter estimates, as well as three conventional statistics, were computed and compared. It was found that, instead of the five-category construct designed, the best order of category meanings of the scale in respondents' perceptions was a three-category construct. The Rasch threshold estimates were sensitive indexes in determining the order of the categorization, and that item separation statistics were useful in determining the optimal categorization after its order was confirmed.
