ACER ConQuest 5 新版特色
ACER ConQuest 5 is a computer program for fitting both unidimensional and multidimensional item response and latent regression models. It provides data analysis based on a comprehensive and flexible range of item response models (IRM), allowing examination of the properties of performance assessments, traditional assessments and rating scales. ACER ConQuest 5 also offers wider measurement and research community analysis procedures based on the most up-to-date psychometric methods of multifaceted item response models, multidimensional item response models, latent regression models and drawing plausible values.
ACER ConQuest Version 5 software includes:
- A choice of marginal maximum likelihood, joint maximum likelihood or Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation
- With MCMC estimation, the ability to add random effects to the item response model
- Implementation of multidimensional and multifaceted Bock model and generalised partial credit model (GPCM)
- Estimation of the Bradley–Terry–Luce (BTL) model for pairwise comparisons
- Direct reading of SPSS data files and CSV text files
- Output of results to SPSS, EXCEL, CSV or other text files
- A wide array of graphical outputs, including Wright maps, Wright predicted probability maps, likelihood plots and information maps
- Person fit and residuals
- Latent variable path modelling
- Mantel-Haenszel DIF estimates
- Powerful manipulation of matrix variables and control logic (if, while, do) for advanced modelling, including specifying custom design matrices or fitting iterative models.
- Integration with R through the conquestr library
- Advanced features, including the ability to impose new constraints on GPCM models, including imposing maximum and positive scores, as well as freely estimated variances through slope constraints.
產品規格
ACER ConQuest 5 is available with both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a simple command line, or console, interface. The software is available in Windows and Mac versions:
- Windows: contains both the GUI and console versions for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.
- Mac: contains only the console version for the 64-bit Mac operating system. No GUI is available. ACER ConQuest for Windows can also be used on Macs running Windows.
ACER ConQuest 5 comes with a range of online resources and access to prompt email support.
How Does ConQuest Fit These Models?
ConQuest produces marginal maximum likelihood estimates for the parameters of the models. The estimation algorithms it uses are adaptations of the quadrature method described by Bock and Allen (1981) and the Monte Carlo method of Volodin and Adams (1995). The fit of the models is ascertained by generalizations of the Wright and Masters (1982) residual-based methods developed by Wu (1997). The manual contains a summary of these procedures.
Some Applications of ConQuest
- Performing item analysis
- Examining differential item functioning
- Exploring rater effects
- Estimating latent correlations and testing dimensionality
- Drawing plausible values
ConQuest is available with both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a simple command line, or console, interface. The console version of the program is available for all of the ConQuest platforms except Windows 3.1x. The GUI version is available for all Windows platforms.
