BAYES MODAL ESTIMATION IN ITEM RESPONSE MODELS* [PDF]
ETS Research Report Series, 1985 ABSTRACTThis article describes a Bayesian framework for estimation in item response models, with two‐stage prior distributions on both item and examinee populations. Strategies for point and interval estimation are discussed, and a general procedure based on the EM algorithm is presented. Details are given for implementation under one‐, two‐, and three‐

Polytomous Item Explanatory Item Response Theory Models [PDF]
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2019 This study investigates polytomous item explanatory item response theory models under the multivariate generalized linear mixed modeling framework, using the linear logistic test model approach. Building on the original ideas of the many-facet Rasch model and the linear partial credit model, a polytomous Rasch model is extended to the item location ...
