A convexity-constrained parameterization of the random effects generalized partial credit model.
An alternative closed-form expression for the marginal joint probability distribution of item scores under the random effects generalized partial credit model is presented. The closed-form expression involves a cumulant generating function and is therefore subjected to convexity constraints. As a consequence, complicated moment inequalities are taken into account in maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of the model, so that the estimation solution is always proper. Another important favorable consequence is that the likelihood function has a single local extreme point, the global maximum. Furthermore, attention is paid to expected a posteriori person parameter estimation, generalizations of the model, and testing the goodness-of-fit of the model. Procedures proposed are demonstrated in an illustrative example.
期刊介绍:
The British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology publishes articles relating to areas of psychology which have a greater mathematical or statistical aspect of their argument than is usually acceptable to other journals including:
• mathematical psychology
• statistics
• psychometrics
• decision making
• psychophysics
• classification
• relevant areas of mathematics, computing and computer software
These include articles that address substantitive psychological issues or that develop and extend techniques useful to psychologists. New models for psychological processes, new approaches to existing data, critiques of existing models and improved algorithms for estimating the parameters of a model are examples of articles which may be favoured.
