部分重要概念
Computer-Adaptive Testing A computer-adaptive testing (CAT) is a method for administering tests that adapts to the examinee‘s ability level. For this reason, it has also been called tailored testing.
Item Response Theory Item response theory (IRT) is a body of related psychometric theory that provides a foundation for scaling persons and items based on responses to assessment items. The central feature of IRT models is that they relate item responses to characteristics of individual persons and assessment items.
Sequential Probability Ratio Test The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) or likelihood-ratio test was developed by Abraham Wald as a hypothesis test for sequential analysis. While originally developed for use in quality control studies in the realm of manufacturing, it has been formulated for use in the computerized testing of human examinees as a termination criterion
Computerized Classification Test (CCT)A computerized classification test (CCT) refers to, as its name would suggest, a test that is administered by computer for the purpose of classifying examinees. The most common CCT is a mastery test where the test classifies examinees as "Pass" or "Fail," but the term also includes tests that classify examinees into more than two categories.
