The asymptotic posterior normality of the latent trait in an IRT model
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2367533
The main result of the paper says that the posterior distribution of examinee ability is approximately normal for a long test. It is assumed that a density of the distribution fulfills five natural conditions. Thus, the paper verifies a fact which has been for a long time part of folklore.
