Explanatory Item Response Modeling for Dichotomous and
Polytomous Items
Analysis of dichotomous and polytomous response data using the explanatory item response modeling framework, as described in Stanke & Bulut (2019) and De Boeck & Wilson (2004) . Generalized linear mixed modeling is used for estimating the effects of item-related and person-related variables on dichotomous and polytomous item responses.
