Loglinear Rasch model tests (Q1062721)

In the present paper the assumptions of the Rasch model are discussed and the Rasch model is reformulated as a quasi independence model. The model is a quasi-loglinear model for the incomplete subgroup \(\times\) score \(\times\) item 1 \(\times\) item 2 \(\times...\times\) item k contingency table. Using ordinary contingency table methods the Rasch model can be tested generally or against less restrictive quasi-loglinear models to investigate specific violations of its assumptions.
