Item response curves for a set of binary responses are studied from a Bayesian viewpoint of estimating the item parameters. For the two- parameter logistic model with normally distributed ability, restricted bivariate beta priors are used to illustrate the computation of the posterior mode via the EM algorithm. The procedure is illustrated by data from a mathematics test.
