Dubravka Svetina works in psychometrics and educational measurement, developing and evaluating statistical methods for tests and assessments. Her research examines how models like item response theory (which links test answers to underlying abilities) and cognitive diagnostic models perform under real-world conditions such as small samples, missing responses, and misspecified assumptions. She also validates measurement scales used in education, psychology, and health.
