Statistical Inference Based on Latent Ability Estimates.

Hoijtink, Herbert; Boomsma, Anne

Psychometrika, v61 n2 p313-30 Jun 1996

The quality of approximations to first- and second-order moments based on latent ability estimates is discussed. The ability estimates are based on the Rasch or the two-parameter logistic model, and true score theory is used to account for the fact that the basic quantities are estimates. (SLD)
