The Logistic Model and Estimation of Latent Structure
Logistic模型与潜在结构的估计
Consider the logistic model for dichotomous response involving a group of individuals with varying levels of ability and a set of items with varying degrees of difficulty. This article is concerned with estimating the parameters of the latent ability distribution for any given group of individuals. An iterative procedure for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of these parameters based on the missing information principle is presented and illustrated with real data. The…
