An EM Approach to Parameter Estimation for the Zinnes and Griggs Paired Comparison IRT Model.
Stark, Stephen; Drasgow, Fritz
Applied Psychological Measurement, v26 n2 p208-27 Jun 2002
Describes item response and information functions for the Zinnes and Griggs paired comparison item response theory (IRT) model (1974) and presents procedures for estimating stimulus and person parameters. Monte Carlo simulations show that at least 400 ratings are required to obtain reasonably accurate estimates of the stimulus parameters and their standard errors. Latent trait estimates improve as test length increases. (SLD)
