This book covers such key features of adaptive testing as item selection and ability estimation, adaptive testing with multidimensional abilities, sequencing adaptive test batteries, multistage adaptive testing, item-pool design and maintenance, estimation of item and item-family parameters, item and person fit, as well as adaptive mastery and classification testing. It also shows how these features are used in the daily operations of several large-scale adaptive testing programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-02-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387854595\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-85461-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 438\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481773011084,"sku":"9780387854595","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387854595.jpg?v=1775739351","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387854595","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
