Abstract | This study presents new models for item response functions (IRFs) in the framework of the D-scoring method (DSM) that is gaining attention in the field of educational and psychological measurement and largescale assessments. In a previous work on DSM, the IRFs of binary items were estimated using a logistic regression model (LRM). However, the LRM underestimates the item true scores at the top end of the D-scale (ranging from 0 to 1), especially for relatively difficult items. This entails underestimation of true D-scores, inaccuracy in the estimates of their standard errors, and other psychometric issues. The inverse-regression adjustments used to fix this problem are too complicated for regular applications of the DSM and not in line with its simplicity. This issue is resolved with the IRF models proposed in this study, referred to as rational function models (RFMs) with one parameter (RFM1), two parameters (RFM2), and three parameters (RFM3). The proposed RFMs are discussed and illustrated with simulated and real data. (As Provided). |
