A Tree-Based Approach for Multistage Testing
Charles Lewis Duanli Yan · 2016
Currently most computerized adaptive tests (CATs) and multistage tests (MSTs) are item response theory (IRT)-based applications. However, there exist nonparametric adaptive testing approaches such as the “Flexilevel” test (Betz and Weiss 1974; Lord 1970), the stratified adaptive test (Weiss 1973), regression trees (Yan, Lewis, and Stocking 2004), mutual information and multiple imputation (Thissen-Row 2009), and measurement decision theory (Rudner and Guo 2010).
