Marginal Maximum Likelihood Estimation for the One-Parameter Logistic Model.

Thissen, David

Psychometrika, v47 n2 p175-86 Jun 1982

Two algorithms for marginal maximum likelihood estimation for the Rasch model are provided. The more efficient of the two algorithms is extended to estimation for the linear logistic model. Numerical examples of both procedures are presented. (Author/JKS)
