1 Alcatos of Stochastc Models o Test ms-scalg Educatoal ad Psychologcal Measuremet Dr. R.Arumugam, M. Raja Assstat Professor,Deartmet of Maematcs, Peryar Maamma Isttute of Scece ad Techology, Thajavur Assstat Professor,Deartmet of Educato, Peryar Maamma Isttute of Scece ad Techology, Thajavur Abstract : I s aer stochastc models are develoed to study e rate of test ms-scalg educatoal ad sychologcal measuremet. The mea ad varace of geometrc ad egatve bomal models are gve to esure e umber of ms-scalg below a reshold. Numercal llustrato are also rovded. Keywords: Stochastc model, Ms-scalg ad Threshold. I. INTRODUCTION I e last decade, essay tems have bee cluded major educatoal assessmets, such as e Natoal Assessmet of Educatoal Progress (NAEP) ad e Thrd Iteratoal Maematcs ad Scece Study (TIMSS) (Alle, Carlso, & Zelea, 999; Mart & Kelly, 996). Meawhle, classroom teachers are advsed to use essay questos to comlemet multle-choce tems. Varous resoses geerated from essay tems demad a large amout of maower test gradg. Whle o graders la to mae mstaes, accdetal errors are lely to occur durg e huma oeratos (Wag, 993). The urose of s study s to exame e chace of test ms-scalg usg arorate models statstcs. The estmato of advertet gradg errors ca serve as a bass for qualty cotrol educatoal ad sychologcal measuremets. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Statstcal models have bee sought to ehace qualty cotrol varous rojects. I a dustral statstcs, qualty cotrol measures are adoted maly to esure e total umber of feror cdets below a reshold. Bssssell (970) revewed; It s ofte assumed at such evets follow e Posso Law. The assumtos of costat mea level ad deedece are ofte volated ractce (. 5). I educatoal ad sychologcal measuremets, test ms-scalg ca be treated as a secfc d of cdets. I a classroom settg, Lyma (998) oted at "Every teacher recogzes at grades are raer arbtrary ad subjectve" (. 07). I a large-scale assessmet, t s eve more dffcult to assume e same level of average erformace amog varous graders. Hece, e assumto of a costat mea erformace level s ofte volated large ad small-scale assessmets, whch maes e Posso model arorate for most real-lfe alcatos (Rasch, 980; Wag, 993). III. STOCHASTIC MODELS I a test scorg rocess, a cotrast ca be set to dfferetate outcomes of correct gradg ad ms-scalg. A evet w dchotomous outcomes s tycally modeled by a Beroull tral. For a welldesged test, e ossblty of ms-scalg () s ot hgh. Qualty cotrol measures, such as arragemet of schedules for short breag, ca be troduced e gradg rocess to esure at e DOI:0.3883/IJRTER DDO 33

DISCUSSION I a comarso betwee (3) ad (6), oe may ote at e geometrc rocess ca be treated as a secal case ( = ) of e egatve bomal dstrbuto. Based o e results (6), e watg tme for a brea erod ca be loger f e overall tolerace level s hgher ad e chace of ms-scalg () s small. I summary, artly due to dffereces e otato choce, e well-establshed geometrc ad egatve bomal dstrbutos have yet to be used models of test ms-scalg. I oer felds, Johso ad Kotz (969) have oted at "e egatve bomal dstrbuto s frequetly used as a substtute for e Posso dstrbuto whe t s doubtful wheer e strct requremets, artcularly deedece, for a Posso dstrbuto wll be satsfed" (. 35). Thus, e geometrc ad egatve bomal models rovde alteratve choces at are more flexble a e Posso model educatoal ad sychologcal measuremets. VIII. CONCLUSION The geometrc rocess s develoed from a sgle-grader scearo uder a olcy of zero tolerace for test ms-scalg. Hece, e result equato (3) may be more alcable a local settg whch a teacher has bee assged to grade tests for a etre class. The egatve bomal rocess, o e oer had, seems arorate for state or atoal assessmet at volves more a oe test grader. I bo cases, e watg tme for test ms-scalg has bee derved from e corresodg stochastc rocesses. The results ca be emloyed to schedule brea erods to esure e error of msscalg below a reshold.
