In the context of fixedlength mastery tests, the Bayesian decision-theoretic procedure was compared with two conventional procedures (conventional-Proportion Correct and conventional-EAP) across different simulation conditions. Several simulation conditions were investigated, including two loss functions (linear and threshold loss function), three item pools (high discrimination, mode… Show more
