A Restricted Latent Class Hidden Markov Model for Polytomous Responses, Polytomous Attributes, and Covariates: Identifiability and Application [PDF]
We introduce a restricted latent class exploratory model for longitudinal data with ordinal attributes and respondent-specific covariates. Responses follow a hidden Markov model where the probability of a particular latent state at a time point is conditional on values at the previous time point of the respondent's covariates and latent state. We prove

Maximum likelihood estimation in the sparse Rasch model [PDF]
The Rasch model has been widely used to analyse item response data in psychometrics and educational assessments. When the number of individuals and items are large, it may be impractical to provide all possible responses. It is desirable to study sparse item response experiments.

Random pairing MLE for estimation of item parameters in Rasch model [PDF]
The Rasch model, a classical model in the item response theory, is widely used in psychometrics to model the relationship between individuals' latent traits and their binary responses on assessments or questionnaires. In this paper, we introduce a new likelihood-based estimator -- random pairing maximum likelihood estimator ($\mathsf{RP\text{-}MLE ...
