Psychometrics uses statistical models for analysis of educational and psychological tests. This course covers main topics in psychometrics, such as traditional item analysis, reliability and validity of measurement, use of logistic and nonlinear regression models, item response theory models, differential item functioning, computerized adaptive testing, etc. Methods are demonstrated using data from Czech matura examination, admission tests and other assessments. Exercises are prepared in freely available statistical software R, other psychometric software is also introduced.
