Multicategorical Spline Model for Item Response Theory.
Abrahamowicz, Michal; Ramsay, James O.
Psychometrika, v57 n1 p5-27 Mar 1992
A nonparametric multicategorical model for multiple-choice data is proposed as an extension of the binary spline model of J. O. Ramsay and M. Abrahamowicz (1989). Results of two Monte Carlo studies illustrate the model, which approximates probability functions by rational splines. (SLD)
