An Optimization Model for Test Assembly To Match Observed-Score Distributions. Research Report 94-7 [electronic resource] / Wim J. van der Linden and Richard M. Luecht.

An optimization model is presented that allows test assemblers to control the shape of the observed-score distribution on a test for a population with a known ability distribution. An obvious application is for item response theory-based test assembly in programs where observed scores are reported a...
