Item exposure in MAT
Since the amount of multidimensional items is much small comparing with unidimensional ones, expousre problem will be worsen. RA seems can solve this problem. However, we can't ampliy RA's role with such limited resourse. So, balance between efficiency and exposure need be considered.Random selection
Normally, we will treat RA as the baseline of performance when we make comparison of CAT with other approaches. For pure RA, it indeed can result in little gain. However, in many application, RA is not replacable; for example, to prevent item exposure, optimal selection rule must work with RA to prevent the same item be selected repeately during a short period.During my current study of MCAT, I am considering that if RA can help the multidimensional selection rules work in a better way. For MCAT, selection rule seems more stubborn, sticking on specific items always when they are considered acceptable.
