Item Clusters and Computerized Adaptive Testing: A Case for Testlets
Howard Wainer,Gerard Kiely +1 more
TL;DR: The development of the "testlet," a bundle of items that can be arranged either hierarchically or linearly, thus maintaining the efficiency of an adaptive test while keeping the quality control of test construction that is possible currently only with careful expert scrutiny is discussed.

Estimating Coefficients in Linear Models: It Don't Make No Nevermind
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that under very general circumstances coefficients in multiple regression models can be replaced with equal weights with almost no loss in accuracy on the original data sample, and that these equal weights will have greater robustness than least squares regression coefficients.
