Model

The one parameter logistic model is also called the Rasch model. Let \(y_{ij}, i=1,\ldots,N, j=1,\ldots,T\) denote the response for person \(i\) on item \(j\) that takes value 0 or 1. The 1PL model can be written as

\[ y_{ij} \sim B(p_{ij}) \] \[ \log\frac{p_{ij} }{1-p_{ij} } = \theta_i - \beta_j \] \[ \theta_i \sim N(0,1) \]

where \(\theta_i\) is the latent trait for person \(i\), and \(\beta_j\) is the item difficulty parameter for item \(j\).
