. Despite their use, the reliability of examinee estimates in DCM applications has seldom been reported. In this paper, a … reliability measure for the categorical latent variables of DCMs is defined. Using theory-and simulation-based results, we show … how DCMs uniformly provide greater examinee estimate reliability than IRT models for tests of the same length, a result …
