Latent class models for testing monotonicity and invariant item ordering for polytomous items.
Two assumptions that are relevant to many applications using item response theory are the assumptions of monotonicity (M) and invariant item ordering (IIO). A latent class model is proposed for ordinal items with inequality constraints on the class-specific item means. This model is used as a tool for testing for violations of M and IIO. A Gibbs sampling scheme is used for estimating the model ...
متن کاملEvaluating Manifest Monotonicity Using Bayes Factors
The assumption of latent monotonicity in item response theory models for dichotomous data cannot be evaluated directly, but observable consequences such as manifest monotonicity facilitate the assessment of latent monotonicity in real data. Standard methods for evaluating manifest monotonicity typically produce a test statistic that is geared toward falsification, which can only provide indirec...
متن کاملRanking scientific journals via latent class models for polytomous item response data
We propose a strategy for ranking scientific journals starting from a set of available quantitative indicators that represent imperfect measures of the unobservable ‘value’ of the journals of interest. After discretizing the available indicators, we estimate a latent class model for polytomous item response data and use the estimated model to classify each journal. We apply the proposed approac...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Parameters from Two Polytomous Item Response Theory Models
RESPONSE THEORY MODELS Various polytomous IRT models parameterize the probability of response categories differently from each other. For example, the graded response model (GRM) (Samejima, 1969) is based on the cumulative log-odds principle, whereas the generalized partial credit model (GPCM) (Muraki, 1992) is based on the adjacent log-odds principle. It is widely known that these two polytomo...
متن کاملLog - multiplicative Association Models as Multidimensional Item Response Models for Polytomous Items ∗
Log-multiplicative association models (LMA), which are special cases of log-linear models, have been derived as models for manifest probabilities based on multidimensional latent variables models for multi-category response data. Since discussion of between multiple derivations is lacking, we draw connections between multiple derivations with an emphasis on those pertaining to item response mod...
