Evaluating Data Quality Using a Combination of Nonparametric and Parametric IRT Models

• In Event: Nonparametric IRT

Abstract

We used real and simulated data to examine the performance of sequential MSA procedure and parametric IRT models to evaluate measurement data quality. The findings show that MSA is an effective tool for screening items and participants with careless responses before applying parametric models.
