In such a situation, favorable ability estimates can be obtained by developing a prior distribution for the ability of learners based on past measurement results and performing Bayes estimation using the prior distribution. A normal distribution is generally used as a prior distribution; however, in the present study, ability estimation was done using an asymmetric lognormal distribution, which better suits a situation in which ability shows improvement. The results of the present simulation study showed that using a lognormal distribution as a prior distribution, rather than a normal distribution, enabled more favorable ability estimates to be obtained.}, pages = {11--18}, title = {非対称事前分布を利用した能力母数の推定 : 成長を前提としたテスト場面への適用}, volume = {26}, year = {} }
