A Method for Investigating the Intersection of Item Response Functions in Mokken's Nonparametric IRT Model

Year: 1992

Type: article

Abstract: For a set of k items having nonintersecting item response functions (IRFS), the H coefficient (Loevinger, 1948; Mokken, 1971) applied to a transposed persons by items binary matrix H T has a non-negative value. Based on this result, a method is proposed for using H T to investigate whether a set of IRFS intersect. Results from a monte carlo study support the proposed use of H T . These results support the use of H T as an exten sion to Mokken's nonparametric item response theory approach.
