Score‐based tests for parameter instability in ordinal factor models
Abstract We present a novel approach for computing model scores for ordinal factor models, that is, graded response models (GRMs) fitted with a limited information (LI) estimator. The method makes it possible to compute score‐based tests for parameter instability for ordinal factor models.
