However, this method may not be suitable if the trial number is small in the CAT. In this note, we advocate the use of the stochastic-approximation-based rule for item difficulty determination for short test lengths in the CAT. We also describe a generalized stochastic-approximation rule to take item discrimination into account. In a simulation study, we considered two cases of the IRT, namely the Rasch model and the 2PL model, and for each case compared the performance of the information-based and stochastic-approximation-based procedures for trials from 10 to 60. The results showed that the accelerated stochastic approximation procedure (and its generalization) was more efficient than the information-based method across the trials. Further, in both procedures, the bias of the estimator started to diminish quickly after the early stages of trials. |
