Measurement Consultant, Examination Center (March 2, 2020-October 30, 2021) 2 P a g eDeveloped and implemented several research and software for the Examination Center. ACT, Inc., Iowa City, Iowa 2009-2020Senior Psychometrician, Research Analytics Infrastructure Dept. (2018-2020) Extensive works in Zeppelin and Databrics platforms for supporting ACT, Inc. on a digital reporting. Used those platforms for developing analytical measurement computer programs in R and Python.Accomplishments: Developed a software of Classical Item Analysis written in Python that can be used to analyze classical test theory on items and a test form for multiple-choice items. Supported research teams with computer programs to make production works more efficient and accurate. Proposed a method for detecting answer-copying at an early stage of a computerized test. Successfully completed on five certified analytical courses of Databrics. Passed the Python course with the score of 98%. Completed online analytical courses of Data Science, Machine Learning, TensorFlow, PyTorch, PySpark, and Jenkins.Senior Psychometrician, Measurement Research Dept. (2016-2018) Responsible on conducting equating, scaling, item calibration, item/form analysis, DIF analyses, test security, and automatic test assembly.Accomplishments: Developed Sibtest_act. The program was written in R and is a modification of an R program of Simultaneous Item Bias Test (SIBTEST) from Multidimensional Item Response Theory (mirt) Package (Chalmer, 2016). SIBTEST is a classical model for detecting Differential Item Functioning (DIF) by applying a regressing approach. It can be used for dichotomous and polytomous data. Developed Effective Response Time. The program was written in R and based on a research paper of Meijer and Sotaridona (2006). It uses responses and response times for detecting data irregularities on computerized tests and/or computerized adaptive tests of multiple-choice items. Graphical results are provided in addition to the text output files. Developed an automatic calibration and reporting for one of ACT products that can reduce working time by about 80%. Single author of one paper and the first author of two papers that were presented in NCME conferences.Psychometrician II, Measurement Research Dept. (2013-2016) Worked with various teams for providing statistical analysis and computer programs needed. Used R, C, visual Fortran, and SAS to perform a variety of psychometric works including item calibration, cheating analysis, research papers, and daily quality control. Accomplishments: Developed Omega IndexHW. This R package is for detecting answering copying on multiple test forms and/or Computerized Adaptive Test that consist of multiple-choice 3 P a g eitems. This computer program is the extension of the Omega index (Wollack, J.A. (1996) that can only detect answer copying on a single test form. Developed Common Item Equating. This visual Fortran package contains methods for equating two test forms under nonequivalent-groups with anchor items/tests designs. Equating types include identity, mean, linear, and equipercentile. Equating methods include synthetic, nominal weights, Tucker, Levin observed score, Levin true score, and Braun/Holland. The first author of two papers that were presented in NCME conferences and the single author of one research paper was submitted.Research Associate, Measurement Research Dept. (2009-2013) Developed computer programs for supporting the needs of psychometric tasks. Used C/C++, visual Fortran, and SAS to perform the psychometric works including item calibration, equating, scaling, automatic test assembly, classification consistency, log linear bivariate, and daily quality control.Accomplishments: Developed Delta Plots. The purpose of this Fortran program is to plot automatically and graphically the delta points that are the error ranges of equating under an item response theory model. Modified Common Item Preparation. This C++ program is used to compute summary statistics and raw score distributions two test forms with anchor items/tests and it is used as an input file for the common item equating. Modified Classification Consistency. This C++ program is used for estimating the classification consistency and accuracy indices under three different psychometric models; the two-parameter beta binomial, four-parameter beta binomial, and three- parameter logistic item response theory models. Modified Log Linear Bivariate. This C++ program is implemented for providing a bivariate distribution of anchor and non-anchor items of a test form under the log linear model. Modified Beta Binomial Bivariate. This C++ program is implemented for providing a bivariate distribution of anchor and non-anchor items of a test form under the beta binomial model.Center for Educational Assessment (CEA), Jakarta, Indonesia 2006-2009 Director, Item Bank (2006-2009)Responsible for developing statistical measurement and computer program for new and existing test programs and providing technical measurement consultation and support for CEA staff.
