Call for Proposals for the Conference on Statistical Detection of Potential Test Fraud

The Conference on Statistical Detection of Potential Test Fraud offers an important forum to present research pertinent to this topic. If you are interested in presenting please submit a one page single spaced proposal by email to nkingsto@ku.edu by February 15, 2012. Include your name, affiliation, title of the paper, and a 300 word abstract. You will be notified of paper acceptance by March 5, 2012.

Following are examples of the bases or goals of statistical methods of interest:

• Answer changing behaviors (including erasure analysis)
• Within-administration aberrant pattern detection (including evidence related to lack of effort as well as fraud)
• Unusual similarity detection
• Aberrant pattern detection with data outside the administration (including evidence from previous administrations and non-test data)
• Approaches to detecting potential fraud on technology-based tests (including analysis of response latency patterns)
