Analyzing psychopathology data: a case for nonparametric IRT
Recently, several authors have introduced and discussed the advantage of the use of item response theory models (IRT) to construct personality scales and to explore the structure of personality data sets. For example, Waller, Tellegen, McDonald, and Lykken (1996) contrasted the use of IRT to principal factor analysis and Reise and Waller (in press) discussed the choice of an IRT model to analyz...
متن کاملA Mixture IRT Analysis of Risky Youth Behavior
The study reported in this manuscript used a mixture item response model with data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2009 (N = 16,410) to identify subtypes of adolescents at-risk for engaging in unhealthy behaviors, and to find individual survey items that were most effective at identifying such students within each subtype. The goal of the manuscript is twofold: (1) To demonstrate the utilit...

متن کاملA New Bayesian Nonparametric Mixture Model
We propose a new mixture model for Bayesian nonparametric inference. Rather than considering extensions from current approaches, such as the mixture of Dirichlet process model, we end up shrinking it, by making the weights less complex. We demonstrate the model and offer an explanation for the performance. Note: The following files were submitted by the author for peer review, but cannot be con...
متن کاملA GPU-Based Gibbs Sampler for a Unidimensional IRT Model
Item response theory (IRT) is a popular approach used for addressing large-scale statistical problems in psychometrics as well as in other fields. The fully Bayesian approach for estimating IRT models is usually memory and computationally expensive due to the large number of iterations. This limits the use of the procedure in many applications. In an effort to overcome such restraint, previous ...
