Abstract

The polytomous unidimensional Rasch model with equidistant scoring (rating scale model) is extended so that two parameters are linearly decomposed into certain basic parameters. A conditional maximum likelihood estimation procedure and a likelihood ratio test are presented in the context of the extended model (linear rating scale model). (SLD)
