The Combined Use of Classical Test Theory and Item Response Theory

Huub H. F. M. Verstralen, Timo Bechger, Gunter Maris

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

The present paper is about a number of relations between concepts of models from classical test theory (CTT), such as reliability, and item response theory (IRT). It is demonstrated that the use of IRT models allows us to extend the range of applications of CTT, and investigate relations among concepts that are central in CTT such as reliability and item-test correlation.
