Glickman (Paul)

Glickman (Paul) refers to a mathematical model developed by Paul Glickman used in educational testing and assessment. It is part of Item Response Theory (IRT), which helps measure a person's ability or knowledge based on their responses to exam questions. The model estimates both a student’s skill level and the difficulty of each question, providing a more precise understanding of their abilities. This approach improves the fairness and accuracy of testing, making it possible to compare scores across different tests and populations. Essentially, Glickman’s work helps create smarter, more tailored assessments in education and other fields.
