Abstract
Consider an n-item multiple-choice test where it
is decided that an examinee knows the answer if
and only if he/she gives the correct response. The k
out of n reliability of the test, Qk, is defined to be
the probability that, for a randomly sampled examinee,
at least k correct decisions are made about
whether the examinee knows the answer to an item.
The paper describes and illustrates how an extension
of a recently proposed latent structure model
can be used in conjunction with results in Sathe,
Pradhan, and Shah (1980) to estimate upper and
lower bounds on Qk. A method of empirically checking
the model is discussed.
