Beschreibung:
The goal of this guide and manual is to provide a practical and brief overview of the theory on computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and multistage testing (MST) and to illustrate the methodologies and applications using R open source language and several data examples. Implementation relies on the R packages catR and mstR that have been already or are being developed by the first author (with the team) and that include some of the newest research algorithms on the topic.
Provides exhaustive descriptions of CAT and MST processes in an R environmentGuides users to simulate and implement CAT and MST using R for their applicationsSummarizes the latest developments and challenges of packages catR and mstRProvides R packages catR and mstR and illustrates to users how to do CAT and MST simulations and implementations using R
