While item response theory may be known primarily for its advances in theoretical modeling of responses to test items, equal progress has been made in its providing innovative solutions to daily testing problems. This third volume in a three-volume set highlights the major applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ethis volume covers applications to test item calibration, item analysis, model fit checking, test-score interpretation, optimal test design, adaptive testing, standard setting, and forensic analyses of response data. It describes advances in testing in areas such as large-scale educational assessment, psychological testing, health measurement, and measurement of change. In addition, it extensively reviews computer programs available to run any of the models and applications in Volume One and Three. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes contributions from internationally acclaimed experts with a history of advancing applications of item response theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides extensive cross-referencing and common notation across all chapters in this three-volume set \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderscores the importance of treating each application in a statistically rigorous way\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews major computer programs for item response theory analyses and applications. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWim J. van der Linden is a distinguished scientist and director of research and innovation at Pacific Metrics Corporation.
