A Modified Bisquare Estimation Procedure for Identifying Partial Disengagement

• In Event: GSIC Poster Session II

Abstract

Evaluating examinees' true ability becomes notably challenging due to the presence of aberrant responses, especially those that are partially disengaged. In this study, we propose a new procedure to identify and downweight partial disengagement (PD), while addressing the limitations of previous methods.
