We assume that there are two IRT scales based upon test X and Y respectively. In the new method, each subjects' item response patterns for various tests are obtained, and then marginal maximum likelihood estimates of the equating coefficients k, l are extracted from these data, while, simultaneous maximum likelihood estimates were extracted in Noguchi (1986). The equating coefficients k, l are estimated by solving simultaneous non-linear equations, (29) and (30). In this paper, test X and Y are formed with 10 ideal test items respectively. Item parameters of them are given in Table 1. By computer simulational item response data for these tests, validity of this method is examined in two situations, such as changing the true equating coefficients (k=1.0,l=0.0 and k=0.9,l=-0.8) and the number of subjects (N=250,500,1000,2000). As a consequence, this new equating method proves to be valid in almost all cases in the simulational studies., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {191--198}, title = {<原著>共通被験者デザインにおける等化係数の周辺最尤法による推定}, volume = {37}, year = {1990} }
