Improving test efficiency for a grid multidimensional computerized classification test by the application of a conditional latent-trait distribution to a sequential probability ratio test
Behav Res Methods. 2021 Dec 16. doi: 10.3758/s13428-021-01757-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe measurement efficiency of a multidimensional computerized adaptive testing (MCAT) can be improved by taking the correlations between the dimensions into account during the item selection and latent-trait estimation procedures (Segall, 1996; Wang & Chen, 2004). Although a multidimensional computerized classification test (MCCT), which was based on a multidimensional itemresponse model, was previously found more efficient than its unidimensional counterpart, the difference was negligible (Seitz & Frey, 2013); the resear...

First-generation and continuing-generation college graduates' application, acceptance, and matriculation to U.S. medical schools: a national cohort study
Med Educ Online. 2022 Dec;27(1):2010291. doi: 10.1080/10872981.2021.2010291.ABSTRACTMany U.S. medical schools conduct holistic review of applicants to enhance the socioeconomic and experiential diversity of the physician workforce. The authors examined the role of first-generation college-graduate status on U.S. medical school application, acceptance, and matriculation, hypothesizing that first-generation (vs. continuing-generation) college graduates would be less likely to apply and gain acceptance to medical school.Secondary analysis of de-identified data from a retrospective national-cohort study was conducted for indiv...
