[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Though more and more applied researchers have begun to treat response options as ordered-categorical variables when conducting measurement invariance (MI) testing, little...
Parsimonious item response theory modeling with different link functions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
), and cauchit links. In a series of simulations studies, I demonstrated that these parametrically parsimonious alternate-link IRT models are comparable to traditional IRT models with regard to (1) data distribution shape, (b) inflection point shift, (c...
