摘要
The purpose of this study is to find a relationship formula between item exposure parameters and item parameters in computerized adaptive tests by using genetic programming (GP), which is a biologically inspired artificial intelligence technique. Based on the relationship formula, item exposure parameters for new parallel item pools can be predicted without conducting any tedious iterative simulations. Results showed that the relationship formula between item exposure parameters and item parameters in a pool could be built by using GP. The item exposure parameters predicted based on the found formula were close to those observed from the Sympson and Hotter (1985) procedure and performed well on controlling item exposure rates. Similar results were observed for parallel item pools. Thus, item exposure parameters could be obtained efficiently by using the GP techniques without conducting any time consuming iterative simulations.
