Abstract
En 中文
This paper presents the automated assembly of multidimensional forced-choice questionnaires (MFCQs) using mixed integer programming (MIP). The unique features of using MIP to assemble MFCQs, distinct from those of traditional cognitive tests and Likert scales, are emphasized. The assemblies are demonstrated in three use cases: one form, two parallel forms, and one multistage test (one Stage 1 routing form and three Stage 2 forms). The objective functions are to maximize the expected test information. The MIP models are implemented using the R package, eatATA, an MIP test assembly tool. Simulation results provided empirical evidence that the test assembly objectives were achieved using MIP. The benefits and limitations of MIP are discussed.
