Joint and Conditional Maximum Likelihood Estimation for the Rasch Model for Binary Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usefulness of joint and conditional maximum-likelihood is considered for the Rasch model under realistic testing conditions in which the number of examinees is very large and the number is items is relatively large. Conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality are explored, effects of model error are investigated, measures of prediction are estimated, and generalized residuals are developed.

on comparing responses to pairs of items irrespective of other items. The pseudo-likelihood method is comparable to Fischer’s (1974) Minchi method. A simulation study found that the pseudo-likelihood estimates and their (estimated) standard errors were comparable to conditional and marginal maximum likelihood estimates. The method is extended to estimate parameters of the linear logistic test m...
متن کاملA Dynamic Generalization of the Rasch Model
In the present paper a model for describing dynamic processes is constructed by combining the common Rasch model with the concept of structurally incomplete designs. This is accomplished by mapping each item on a collection of virtual items, one of which is assumed to be presented to the respondent dependent on the preceding responses and/or the feedback obtained. It is shown that, in the case ...
متن کاملPerson parameter estimation in the polytomous Rasch model
An important task in psychometric measurement is to identify the skills of persons, by accounting the difficulty degree of item responses in questionaries. The Item Response Theory (IRT) is the base for a valid measurement of the skills and the Rasch Model a well established probabilistic model, in the implementation of the theory. More recent extensions of the Rasch Model include the Partial C...
متن کاملLinks between Binary and Multi-category Logit Item Response Models and Quasi-symmetric Loglinear Models – 443 –
— Caussinus’s loglinear model of quasi symmetry has interesting connections with models for within-subject effects with repeated categorical measurement. For binary responses, Tjur (1982) showed that estimates of main effect parameters in the quasi-symmetry model are also conditional maximum likelihood estimates of item parameters for a fixed effects treatment of subject terms in the Rasch item...
