Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This book develops an intuitive understanding of IRT principles through the use of graphical displays and analogies to familiar psychological principles. It surveys contemporary IRT models, estimation methods, and computer programs. Polytomous IRT models are given central coverage since many psychological tests use rating scales.br br Ideal for clinical, industrial, counseling, educational, and behavioral medicine professionals and students familiar with classical testing principles, exposure to material covered in first-year graduate statistics courses is helpful. All symbols and equations are thoroughly explained verbally and graphically.br

4 out of 5 stars

Good intro June 1, 2003
6 out of 9 found this review helpful

The book does a good job of introducing IRT. The best chapters are the explainations of parameter estimation (i.e., maximization methods). The only bad part is that they do not adequetly discuss DIF of CAT.
