We start with a short introduction to general latent trait models. They were introduced rigorously by Lawley (1943, 1944). Their use in test theory was stimulated enormously by Lord and Novick (1968), especially in the chapters written by Birnbaum. In Europe, latent trait theory was pioneered...
A multivariate logistic latent trait model for items scored in two or more nominal categories is proposed. Statistical methods based on the model provide 1... RD Bock - 《Psychometrika》 被引量: 1458发表: 1972年 The linear logistic test model as an instrument in educational research The present...
We add optionmean(H@0)because we assume the latent trait is centered at zero for both groups. (It also makes this model identified becauseHis a latent variable and each group has its own intercepts.) To fit the multiple-group model from the Builder, we draw the same path diagram that ...
Cigarette smoking was associated with higher blood lead levels and outcome, but models that excluded current smokers also resulted in significantly increased odds of major depression (P = .03 for trend) and panic disorder (P = .01 for trend) with higher blood lead quintiles. Conclusions In ...
In this paper, we develop a flexible generalized estimating equations framework ("GEE2") for fitting twin ACE models that requires minimal distributional assumptions, rather only the first two moments need to be correctly specified. We prove that two commonly used methods for estimating heritability,...

A logistic regression model is suggested for estimating the relation between a set of manifest predictors and a latent trait assumed to be measured by a set of k dichotomous items. Usually the estimated subject parameters of latent trait models are biased, especially for short tests. Therefore, ...
