The Equivalence of Two Methods of Parameter Estimation for the Rasch Model.
Blackwood, Larry G.; Bradley, Edwin L.
Psychometrika, v54 n4 p751-54 Dec 1989
Two methods of estimating parameters in the Rasch model are compared. The equivalence of likelihood estimations from the model of G. J. Mellenbergh and P. Vijn (1981) and from usual unconditional maximum likelihood (UML) estimation is demonstrated. Mellenbergh and Vijn's model is a convenient method of calculating UML estimates. (SLD)
