Models for equating in cognitive tests
Vařejková, Michaela ; Martinková, Patrícia (advisor) ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (referee)
This thesis focuses on statistical methods for equating cognitive tests, which is the process of transforming scores from multiple test versions to ensure their comparability. Divided into three chapters, the theoretical part of the thesis addresses different approaches to test equating. The first chapter presents tra- ditional equating methods, the second explores kernel equating methods, while the third covers equating methods using Item Response Theory models. The concluding part of the thesis showcases an empirical study demonstrating the application of equating methods on a real dataset. This dataset contains respon- ses to two versions of a math test taken by fourth-grade students in the Czech Republic as part of the 2015 TIMSS international survey. 1
Generalized Wilcoxon Test for Censored Data
Vařejková, Michaela ; Maciak, Matúš (advisor) ; Komárek, Arnošt (referee)
This paper deals with the generalized Wilcoxon test and its use for censored data. The introduction describes standard one-sample and two-samples Wilco- xon tests and their basic properties, censored data and methods of censoring. The main part of the paper is devoted to the introduction of the generalized Wilcoxon test and to its properties. First, a test for singly-censored data is de- scribed; the description of a test for doubly censored data follows. The paper concludes with a simulations part in which statistical properties of the test are demonstrated. The first example compares the generalized test with the stan- dard two-samples Wilcoxon test. The second example shows how the censoring rate affects the power and significance level of the generalized test. 1
