Measuring continuous change or growth in individual students' academic abilities over time currently uses several statistical models or transformations to move from data representing a student's correct or incorrect responses on individual test items to inferences about the form and quantity of...

The main purpose of this study was to construct different vertical scales based on various combinations of calibration methods and proficiency estimators to investigate the impact different choices may have on these properties of the vertical scales that result: grade-to-grade growth,...

We consider complexity penalization methods for model selection. These methods aim to choose a model to optimally trade off estimation and approximation errors by minimizing the sum of an empirical risk term and a complexity penalty. It is well known that if we use a bound on the maximal...
