They also allow for an easy periodical update of the parameter estimates from response data when the adaptive test is operational. If the item selection is based on point estimates of ability, the regressed value of on the predictor variables, can be used as the prior ability estimate for which the initial item is selected. If the items are selected using a full prior distribution for the choice of prior following (32)-(33) is Empirical initialization of adaptive tests does have more than just statistical advantages.
