Sensitivity of Marginal Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Item and Ability Parameters to the Characteristics of the Prior Ability Distributions
The sensitivity of marginal maximum likelihood es timation of item and ability (θ) parameters was ex amined when the prior θ distributions are not matched to the underlying θ distributions. Thirty sets of 45-item test data were generated by specifi cation of three types of underlying θ distributions. They were …
