Abstract | This article focuses on four-parameter logistic (4PL) model as an extension of the usual three-parameter logistic (3PL) model with an upper asymptote possibly different from 1. For a given item with fixed item parameters, Lord derived the value of the latent ability level that maximizes the item information function under the 3PL model. The purpose of this article is to extend this result to the 4PL model. A generic and algebraic method is developed for that purpose. The result is practically illustrated by an example and several potential applications of this result are outlined. (Contains 1 table and 2 figures.) (As Provided). |
