A Restricted Latent Class Hidden Markov Model for Polytomous Responses, Polytomous Attributes, and Covariates: Identifiability and Application [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
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]

open access: yesarXiv
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.

lordif: An R Package for Detecting Differential Item Functioning Using Iterative Hybrid Ordinal Logistic Regression/Item Response Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes
Logistic regression provides a flexible framework for detecting various types of differential item functioning (DIF). Previous efforts extended the framework by using item response theory (IRT) based trait scores, and by employing an iterative process ...

Random pairing MLE for estimation of item parameters in Rasch model [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
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 ...

A scoping review of Rasch analysis and item response theory in otolaryngology: Implications and future possibilities

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology
Objective Item response theory (IRT) is a methodological approach to studying the psychometric performance of outcome measures. This study aims to determine and summarize the use of IRT in otolaryngological scientific literature.
