“…The normalized weights,ŵ hij,R , are found by dividing 3 iAM is free psychometric software available from the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and Jon Cohen, and can be downloaded at http://am.air.org. The software uses an item response theory module (iAM) for parameter estimation of all major item response theory models, along with design consistent estimates of standard errors (Cohen, Chan, Jiang, & Seburn, 2008). The standard errors are estimated using Taylor series approximations, which take into account student weights, stratification information, and clustering (Binder, 1983;Woodruff, 1971).…”
