Invariance of Comparisons: Separation of Item and Person Parameters beyond Rasch Models [PDF]
The Rasch model is the most prominent member of the class of latent trait models that are in common use. The main reason is that it can be considered as a measurement model that allows to separate person and item parameters, a feature that is referred to as invariance of comparisons or specific objectivity.

D-Optimal Design for the Rasch Counts Model with Multiple Binary Predictors [PDF]
In this paper, we derive optimal designs for the Rasch Poisson counts model and the Rasch Poisson-Gamma counts model incorporating several binary predictors for the difficulty parameter. To efficiently estimate the regression coefficients of the predictors, locally D-optimal designs are developed. After an introduction to the Rasch Poisson counts model

As a statistical tool to assist formative assessments in educational settings, diagnostic classification models (DCMs) have been increasingly used to provide diagnostic information regarding examinees' attributes. DCMs often adopt a dichotomous division such as the mastery and non-mastery of attributes to express the mastery states of attributes ...
