A Comprehensive Simulation Study of Estimation Methods for the Rasch Model
A Comprehensive Simulation Study of Estimation Methods for the Rasch Model
The Rasch model is one of the most prominent item response models. In this article, different item parameter estimation methods for the Rasch model are systematically compared through a comprehensive simulation study: Different alternatives of joint maximum likelihood (JML) estimation, different alternatives of marginal maximum likelihood (MML) estimation, conditional maximum …
