Robust IRT scaling: Considerations in constructing item bank from tests across years
This study investigates the impact of three different IRT scaling and equating methods in building an item bank of tests from 23 years of a national licensure exam . The study focuses on several key psychometric issues including scaledriftandequatingerrors.

A large-scale, long-term study of scale drift: The micro view and the macro view
This study examined the measurement stability of a set of Rasch measurement scales that have been in place for almost 40 years.

The effect of nonignorable missing data in computerized adaptive test on item fit statistics for polytomous item response models
These studies are conducted based on assumptions under regular conditions for fixed test forms, such as no missing responses and normal distribution of unidimensional ability for a population.
