Stochastic programming for individualized test assembly with mixture response time models

作者：

Highlights：

• The use of response times in the assembly of computer-based assessments (CBAs) was discussed.

• Various strategies for dealing with probabilistic constraints in CBAs were studied.

• Stochastic programming was introduced as a new method for CBA assembly.

• A simulation study provided insights in the strengths and weaknesses.

• Stochastic programming turned out to be a valuable new tool.
