Abstract
Marginal maximum likelihood estimation based on the expectation-maximization algorithm (MML/EM) is developed for the one-parameter logistic model with ability-based guessing (1PL-AG) item response theory (IRT) model. The use of the MML/EM estimator is cross-validated with estimates from NLMIXED procedure (PROC NLMIXED) in Statistical Analysis System. Numerical data are provided for comparisons of results from MML/EM and PROC NLMIXED.Keywords: 1PL-AG; EM; IRT; MML; estimator
