| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Item response theory is a modern test theory for the design, analysis, and scoring of tests. This research is concerned with the nonparametric item response theory (NIRT) for estimating various forms of item characteristic curves (ICCs), which express the probability of a correct answer as a function of the latent abilities of the examinees. This research derived mixed-integer optimization formulations for existing NIRT models, proposed smoothness constraints for preventing overfitting of nonparametric ICCs, and developed algorithms for estimating these NIRT models. Computational results demonstrated the effectiveness of the NIRT models in comparison to existing IRT models.
