Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects with Item-Level Outcome Data: Insights from Item Response Theory

no code implementations30 Apr 2024 Joshua B. Gilbert, Zachary Himmelsbach, James Soland, Mridul Joshi, Benjamin W. Domingue

Our results show that the IL-HTE model reveals item-level variation masked by average treatment effects, provides more accurate statistical inference, allows for estimates of the generalizability of causal effects, resolves identification problems in the estimation of interaction effects, and provides estimates of standardized treatment effect sizes corrected for attenuation due to measurement error.

Curve Fitting from Probabilistic Emissions and Applications to Dynamic Item Response Theory

1 code implementation9 Sep 2019 Ajay Shanker Tripathi, Benjamin W. Domingue

However, in contemporary settings where item responses are being continuously collected, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), interest will naturally be on the dynamics of ability, thus complicating usage of traditional IRT models.
