Multidimensional Computer Adaptive Testing (MCAT): Procedure and Process
Multidimensional Computer Adaptive Testing (MCAT) extends the classical unidimensional CAT framework to simultaneously estimate multiple latent traits. This document details the theoretical foundations, algorithmic procedures, item selection strategies, ability estimation methods, and stopping rules that govern the MCAT process, with reference to seminal and contemporary literature.
