Abstract

The fit of an item response theory (IRT) model to the data is usually assessed by considering the entire sample of test respondents (Chapter 6). Overall model-data fit is assessed by jointly considering all the items × individuals responses. At a more specific level, item fit is assessed on an item-by-item basis by considering the item responses across the group of respondents.
