Gaining A Deeper Understanding Of The Meaning Of The Carelessness Parameter In The 4pl Irt Model And Strategies For Estimating It, Timbul Pardede, Agus Santoso, Diki Diki, Heri Retnawati, Ibnu Rafi, Ezi Apino, Munaya Nikma Rosyada

REID (Research and Evaluation in Education)

Three popular models are used to describe the characteristics of the test items and estimate the ability of examinees under the dichotomous IRT model, namely the one-, two-, and three-parameter logistic models. The three-item parameters are discriminating power, difficulty, and pseudo-guessing. In the development of the dichotomous IRT model, carelessness or upper asymptote parameter was proposed, which forms a four-parameter logistic (4PL) model to accommodate a condition where a high-ability examinee gives an incorrect response to a test item when he/she should be able to respond to the test item correctly. However, the carelessness parameter and the 4PL model have …
