Adaptive screening test evaluation
Adaptive screening test evaluation is a psychometric and epidemiological framework for designing and assessing screening instruments whose item selection or stopping rules adjust dynamically to each respondent's response pattern. Rooted in item response theory (IRT) and computerized adaptive testing (CAT), the method uses real-time ability or severity estimates to present only the most informative items, then evaluates the resulting screening decisions against a clinical reference standard using standard diagnostic accuracy metrics.
