Item Response Theory Equating Using Bayesian Informative Priors / Jimmy de la Torre and Richard J. Patz.

This paper seeks to extend the application of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in item response theory (IRT) to include the estimation of equating relationships along with the estimation of test item parameters. A method is proposed that incorporates estimation of the equating relationship in...
