  • A Modified Beta Binomial Model with Applications to Multiple Choice and Taste Tests

  • A modified beta binomial model is presented for use in analyzing ramdom guessing multiple choice tests and certain forms of taste tests. Detection probabilities for each item are distributed beta across the population subjects. Properties for the observable distribution of correct responses are derived. Two concepts of true score estimates are presented. One, analogous to Duncan’s empirical Bayes posterior mean score, is appropriate for assessing the subject’s performance on that particular test. The second is more suitable for predicting outcomes on similar tests.
