We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • IRT models the probability of a correct response as a function of an examinee's latent proficiency and item characteristics, independent of the specific test-taker sample, unlike Classical Test Theory, which yields sample-dependent scores.

    “Item Response Theory (IRT), regarded as a modern test theory, models the probability of a correct response as a function of an examinee’s latent proficiency (θ) and item characteristics, independent of the specific test-taker sample—unlike Classical Test Theory, which yields sample-dependent scores24,25.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
