Conditioning on the pre-test versus gain score modeling: revisiting the controversy in a multilevel setting
Bruno Arpino, Silvia Bacci, Leonardo Grilli +2
We consider estimating the effect of a treatment on the progress of subjects tested both before and after treatment assignment. A vast literature compares the competing approaches…
Evaluation of student proficiency through a multidimensional finite mixture IRT model
Silvia Bacci, Francesco Bartolucci, Leonardo Grilli +1
In certain academic systems, a student can enroll for an exam immediately after the end of the teaching period or can postpone it to any later examination session, so that the grad…
A multidimensional latent class IRT model for non-ignorable missing responses
Silvia Bacci, Francesco Bartolucci
We propose a structural equation model, which reduces to a multidimensional latent class item response theory model, for the analysis of binary item responses with non-ignorable mi…
A multilevel finite mixture item response model to cluster examinees and schools
Michela Gnaldi, Silvia Bacci, Francesco Bartolucci
Within the educational context, a key goal is to assess students acquired skills and to cluster students according to their ability level. In this regard, a relevant element to be…
Joint Assessment of the Differential Item Functioning and Latent Trait Dimensionality of Students' National Tests
Michela Gnaldi, Francesco Bartolucci, Silvia Bacci
Within the educational context, students' assessment tests are routinely validated through Item Response Theory (IRT) models which assume unidimensionality and absence of Different…
A causal analysis of mother's education on birth inequalities
Silvia Bacci, Francesco Bartolucci, Luca Pieroni
We propose a causal analysis of the mother's educational level on the health status of the newborn, in terms of gestational weeks and weight. The analysis is based on a finite mixt…
