This study revisits the parameter estimation issues in multidimensional item response theory more thoroughly and investigates some computation details......
Differential item functioning (DIF) analysis is an important step in establishing the validity of measurements. Most traditional methods for DIF analy......

We revisit a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm given in Chen et al. (Psychometrika 84:124-146, 2019b) for exploratory item factor analysis ......

The maintenance of item bank is essential for continuously implementing adaptive tests. Calibration of new items online provides an opportunity to eff......
Ansari et al. (Psychometrika 67:49-77, 2002) applied a multilevel heterogeneous model for confirmatory factor analysis to repeated measurements on ind......
