In the estimation of item response models, the normality of latent traits is frequently assumed. However, this assumption may be untenable in real testing. In contrast to the conventional three-parameter normal ogive (3PNO) model, a 3PNO model incorporating Ramsay-curve item response theory (RC-IRT), denoted as the RC-3PNO model, allows for flexible latent trait distributions. We propose a stochastic approximation expectation maximization (SAEM) algorithm to estimate the RC-3PNO model with non-n ...[more]
