Linear Logistic Models with Relaxed Assumptions in R (original) (raw)

Algorithms from and for Nature and Life, 2013

Abstract

ABSTRACT Linear logistic models with relaxed assumptions (LLRA) are a flexible tool for item-based measurement of change or multidimensional Rasch models. Their key features are to allow for multidimensional items and mutual dependencies of items as well as imposing no assumptions on the distribution of the latent trait in the population. Inference for such models becomes possible within a framework of conditional maximum likelihood estimation. In this paper we introduce and illustrate new functionality from the R package eRm for fitting, comparing and plotting of LLRA models for dichotomous and polytomous responses with any number of time points, treatment groups and categorical covariates.
