Revisiting the Regularity of Student Learning Rate: Sensitivity to Which Observations Are Included
Hansol Lee, Guilherme Lichand, Cristina Barnard +4
Mixed-effects models fit to observational practice data are widely used in learning analytics to estimate student-level variation in initial knowledge and learning rate, and the re…
Dynamic Bayesian Item Response Model with Decomposition (D-BIRD): Modeling Cohort and Individual Learning Over Time
Hansol Lee, Jason B. Cho, David S. Matteson +1
We present D-BIRD, a Bayesian dynamic item response model for estimating student ability from sparse, longitudinal assessments. By decomposing ability into a cohort trend and indiv…
Psychometric Alignment: Capturing Human Knowledge Distributions via Language Models
Joy He-Yueya, Wanjing Anya Ma, Kanishk Gandhi +3
Language models (LMs) are increasingly used to simulate human-like responses in scenarios where accurately mimicking a population's behavior can guide decision-making, such as in d…
Polytomous Explanatory Item Response Models for Item Discrimination: Assessing Negative-Framing Effects in Social-Emotional Learning Surveys
Joshua B. Gilbert, Lijin Zhang, Esther Ulitzsch +1
Modeling item parameters as a function of item characteristics has a long history but has generally focused on models for item location. Explanatory item response models for item d…
Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects with Item-Level Outcome Data: Insights from Item Response Theory
Joshua B. Gilbert, Zachary Himmelsbach, James Soland +2
Analyses of heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) are common in applied causal inference research. However, when outcomes are latent variables assessed via psychometric instruments…
Item-Level Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) on Depression: Implications for Inference, Generalizability, and Identification
Joshua B. Gilbert, Fredrik Hieronymus, Elias Eriksson +1
In analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), Item Response Theory (IRT) models that allow for heterogeneity in the treatment e…
