Criterion-Referencing of Performance by Latent-Trait Scaling,
Abstract
Conventional true-score approaches to criterion-referenced tests break down when such tests are used for classificatory purposes. Latent trait modeling can help in this situation, but it is appropriate to question whether this classificatory use of criterion-referenced tests is what is needed. Latent trait modeling of test performance can enable straightforward criterion-referenced interpretations of test scores. As the use of testing for individual diagnosis increases, criterion-referencing with latent trait models is likely to become even more attractive. (Author)
