From the Preface
This book represents the first collection of state-of-the-art research on latent trait test theory and computerized adaptive testing. It is designed to bring to the reader an appreciation of the current state of research in these fields as well as specific information on important aspects of latent trait test theory and computerized adaptive testing, their applications, and the underlying models. It should help readers appreciate the range of applicability of latent trait test theory and computerized adaptive testing to specific psychometric problems and give them an appreciation for the utility of both of these fields for the solution of important psychometric problems. This book should be useful to psychometricians who are new to latent trait test theory and computerized adaptive testing, as well as those with more advanced knowledge.
