This study found that Andrich's rating scale model (RSM) provides accurate item and trait parameter recovery, even with smaller sample sizes. This suggests RSM is efficient for calibration compared to other polytomous item response theory models.

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Educational Measurement
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Item response theory (IRT) models are crucial for educational and psychological assessments.
  • Andrich's rating scale model (RSM) is a widely used polytomous IRT model.
  • Understanding parameter recovery is essential for model validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate item and trait parameter recovery for Andrich's rating scale model.
  • To investigate the influence of data characteristics on model performance.
  • To compare calibration sample size requirements with other polytomous IRT models.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated data matrices were generated varying item scale distribution, response categories, trait level distribution, and sample size.
  • The PARSCALE computer program was used for analysis.

  • 400 data matrices were analyzed across 10 replications per condition.

    • Main Results:

    • Accurate item and trait parameter estimates were achieved across all tested sample sizes.
    • Sample size impacted item parameter recovery but not trait parameter recovery.
    • The distribution of trait levels had minimal effect on item parameter recovery.

    Conclusions:

    • Andrich's rating scale model demonstrates robust parameter recovery.
    • Smaller calibration sample sizes may be sufficient for Andrich's RSM compared to other polytomous IRT models.
    • The model's efficiency makes it suitable for various assessment contexts.
