ltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Analysis
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-

Method of successive dichotomizations: An improved method for estimating measures of latent variables from rating scale data. [PDF]
The most commonly used models for estimating measures of latent variables from polytomous rating scale data are the Andrich rating scale model and the Samejima graded response model. The Andrich model has the undesirable property of estimating disordered

Rasch fit statistics and sample size considerations for polytomous data
Background Previous research on educational data has demonstrated that Rasch fit statistics (mean squares and t-statistics) are highly susceptible to sample size variation for dichotomously scored rating data, although little is known about this ...
