Abstract:
A new class of parametric IRT models for dichotomously scored items is presented. The new class of models is a subclass of both the class of models defined by the four-parameter logistic item response function and the nonparametric Double Monotonicity (DM) model. Three special cases of this new class of models are discussed. One of these special cases is shown to be the one-parameter logistic Rasch model. Both specific objectivity at the interval level of measurement and the sufficiency of the total score for the latent trait are shown to be measurement properties of the whole new class of models. For maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters, both a joint and a conditional likelihood function are proposed.

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
