Abstract | Comments are made on the review papers presented by six Dutch psychometricians: Ivo Molenaar, Wim van der Linden, Ed Roskam, Arnold Van den Wollenberg, Gideon Mellenbergh, and Dato de Gruijter. Molenaar has embraced a pragmatic viewpoint on Bayesian methods, using both empirical and pure approaches to solve educational research problems. Molenaar presented a taxonomy of Bayesian procedures. Current Dutch research involves nonparametric Bayesian procedures, formalization of prior belief, reporting of the results, and evaluation applications. Van der Linden listed a wide array of testing problems to which decision theory is being applied in the Netherlands. De Gruijter and Mooijaart have made important contributions in least squares Bayesian estimation, and Lewis has clarified difficulties in implementing the hierarchical Bayesian model. Researchers testing Rasch Model assumptions include Van den Wollenberg and Roskam and Jansen. Recent item bias research by Mellenbergh provides a sound method for making inferences about differential item performance between groups. De Gruijter discussed a number of useful applications of generalizability theory, including criterion referenced tests, cutting scores, analysis of ratings, equated scores, and test construction.
