Parameter Estimation of KST-IRT Model under Local Dependence

open access: yesPsych, 2023
A mantra often repeated in the introductory material to psychometrics and Item Response Theory (IRT) is that a Rasch model is a probabilistic version of a Guttman scale. The idea comes from the observation that a sigmoidal item response function provides
