Confidence Envelopes for Item Response Theory. Technical Report No. 83-38.
Thissen, David; Wainer, Howard
A statistical method is described and illustrated which provides confidence envelopes around item response functions. Examples of 95 percent confidence envelopes for the one-, two-, and three-parameter logistic response models are given. In addition, the authors describe N-line plots, which show the genesis of the envelope as well as the density of lines in the confidence region. These too are illustrated for the one-, two-, and three-parameter logistic models. (Author)
