A Generalized Framework for Item Response Models

This advanced textbook goes beyond the current limits of item response modeling to enhance understanding and help readers be more creative in the development and usage of the models. The book first provides a basic survey of the approach and then lays out a large space of important models and their applications. It finishes with information about using different computational approaches to estimating the models, including aspects of testing, as well as several appendices containing helpful codes and examples.
