ltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Theory Analyses
The R package ltm has been developed for the analysis of multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data using latent variable models, under the Item Response Theory approach. For dichotomous data the Rasch, the Two-Parameter Logistic, and Birnbaum’s Three-Parameter models have been implemented, whereas for polytomous data Semejima’s Graded Response model is available. Parameter estimates are obta...
متن کاملLatent Variable Selection for Multidimensional Item Response Theory Models via L1 Regularization
We develop a latent variable selection method for multidimensional item response theory models. The proposed method identifies latent traits probed by items of a multidimensional test. Its basic strategy is to impose an L1 penalty term to the log-likelihood. The computation is carried out by the expectationmaximization algorithm combined with the coordinate descent algorithm. To the authors’ be...
متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: A Survey*
Latent variable modelling has gradually become an integral part of mainstream statistics and is currently used for a multitude of applications in different subject areas. Examples of ‘traditional’ latent variable models include latent class models, item–response models, common factor models, structural equation models, mixed or random effects models and covariate measurement error models. Altho...
متن کاملModelling Right to Information Queries via Item Response Theory
The present work is an attempt to use models present in Item Response Theory, which are psychometric models, for modelling Right to Information (RTI) queries. A synthetic matrix resembling our RTI dataset (construction on-going) has been created and we have applied Graded Response Model (GRM) to the data. Outcomes of the experiment have helped us identify latent patterns regarding the RTI query...
متن کاملLatent Variable Modelling: Old and New Approaches
To find he precursor of contemporary latent variable modelling one must go back to the beginning of the 20th century and Charles Spearman’s invention of factor analysis. This was followed, half a century later, by latent class and latent trait analysis and, from the 1960’s onwards, by covariance structure analysis. The most recent additions to the family have been in the area of time series. We...
