This study on the partial credit model found that sample size relative to item parameters is key for accurate estimation. Considering item steps improves guidelines, with ability estimation accurate even for smaller sample sizes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Educational Measurement
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • The partial credit model (PCM) is widely used in educational and psychological assessments.
  • Parameter recovery is crucial for the validity of PCM-based inferences.
  • Existing guidelines for sample size in PCM may not fully account for item characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate parameter recovery for the partial credit model (PCM).
  • To examine the influence of sample size and number of item parameters on PCM accuracy.
  • To provide refined guidelines for sample size in PCM analyses.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the MULTILOG computer program for analysis.
  • Manipulated sample size and the number of item parameters.

  • Systematically varied the number of steps per item and the total number of items.

    • Main Results:

    • A "rule of thumb" ratio of sample size to the number of item parameters is more effective when item steps are considered.
    • Ability estimation demonstrated accuracy across all tested conditions, even with sample sizes as low as 250.
    • Estimation of step values requires greater caution, particularly for items with more categories.

    Conclusions:

    • Sample size relative to the number of item parameters, considering item steps, offers a more robust guideline for PCM.
    • Ability parameter estimation is generally reliable in PCM across various conditions.
    • Larger sample sizes are necessary for accurate estimation of step values for items with numerous categories.
