Lucio Bertoli-Barsotti

Statistics & Probability Letters, 2003, vol. 61, issue 1, 91-96

Abstract: The paper proves that the maximum likelihood estimates of item and person parameters of the Rasch model preserve the order of item and person total scores. The result is valid for conditional and unconditional maximum likelihood estimation.
