This study introduces a new estimation method for the Rasch model with multiple response categories. It improves parameter estimation by using principal components, enhancing accuracy with sparse data and missing values.

Area of Science:

  • Psychometrics
  • Statistical modeling

Background:

  • The Rasch model is crucial for analyzing ordered response categories.
  • Estimating thresholds in multi-category Rasch models presents challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel estimation method for the Rasch model with more than two ordered response categories.
  • To leverage the inherent structure of the Rasch model for improved threshold estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Estimates principal components of thresholds instead of direct estimation.
  • Employs a pairwise maximum likelihood algorithm, generalizing the dichotomous item algorithm.
  • Conditions out the person parameter to estimate item parameters.

Main Results:

  • The method stabilizes estimates with low-frequency data by considering all category frequencies.
