Abstract | Because parameter estimates from different calibration runs under the IRT model are linearly related, a linear equation can convert IRT parameter estimates onto another scale metric without changing the probability of a correct response (Kolen & Brennan, 1995, 2004). This study was designed to explore a new approach to finding a linear equation by fixing C-parameters for anchor items in IRT equating. A rationale for fixing C-parameters for anchor items in IRT equating can be established from the fact that the C-parameters are not affected by any linear transformation. This new approach can avoid the difficulty in getting accurate C-parameters for anchor items embedded in the application of the IRT model. Based upon our findings in this study, we would recommend using the new approach to fix C-parameters for anchor items in IRT equating. (Contains 6 tables and 3 figures.) (As Provided). |
