Abstract: | Usual system: take as scale value the normal deviate corresponding to the areap = (p –p
0)/(1 –p
0), wherep is the proportion of correct answers andp
0 is the chance proportion. Ifp p
0, the item difficulty is unscalable. Proposed system: take as scale value the normal deviate corresponding to the areap =p
x
, withx so chosen thatp = .5 whenp is half-way betweenp
0 and 1. Table givesD (=500 + 100z) forp = .00(.01)1.00 and for (= number of alternatives) 2,3,4,5,6,7, . |
