Tests of Certain Types of Ignorable Nonresponse in Surveys Subject to Item Nonresponse or Attrition
Analysts of cross-sectional or panel surveys often base inferences about relationships between variables on complete units, excluding units that are incomplete due to item nonresponse or attrition. This practice is justifiable if exclusion is ignorable in an appropriate sense. This paper characterizes certain types of ignorable exclusion in surveys subject to item nonresponse and develops tests...
متن کاملComparison of Multidimensional Item Response Models: Multivariate Normal Ability Distributions Versus Multivariate Polytomous Ability Distributions
Multidimensional item response models can be based on multivariate normal ability distributions or on multivariate polytomous ability distributions. For the case of simple structure in which each item corresponds to a unique dimension of the ability vector, some applications of the two-parameter logistic model to empirical data are employed to illustrate how, at least for the example under stud...
متن کاملLog - multiplicative Association Models as Multidimensional Item Response Models for Polytomous Items ∗
Log-multiplicative association models (LMA), which are special cases of log-linear models, have been derived as models for manifest probabilities based on multidimensional latent variables models for multi-category response data. Since discussion of between multiple derivations is lacking, we draw connections between multiple derivations with an emphasis on those pertaining to item response mod...
متن کاملFactor copula models for item response data.
Factor or conditional independence models based on copulas are proposed for multivariate discrete data such as item responses. The factor copula models have interpretations of latent maxima/minima (in comparison with latent means) and can lead to more probability in the joint upper or lower tail compared with factor models based on the discretized multivariate normal distribution (or multidimen...
متن کاملParadoxical Results in Multidimensional Item Response Theory
In multidimensional item response theory (MIRT), it is possible for the estimate of a subject’s ability in some dimension to decrease after they have answered a question correctly. This paper investigates how and when this type of paradoxical result can occur. We demonstrate that many response models and statistical estimates can produce paradoxical results and that in the popular class of line...
