Kernel Smoothing Approaches to Nonparametric Item Characteristic Curve Estimation
J O. Ramsay
Psychometrika Vol. 56, No. 4 (1991) pp. 611–30
Kernel smoothing methods for nonparametric item characteristic curve estimation are reviewed. A simulation with 500 examinees and real data from 3,000 records of the Graduate Record Examination illustrate the rapidity of kernel smoothing. Even when...

Maximum Marginal Likelihood Estimation for Semiparametric Item Analysis
J O. Ramsay; S Winsberg
Psychometrika Vol. 56, No. 3 (1991) pp. 365–79
A method is presented for estimating the item characteristic curve (ICC) using polynomial regression splines. Estimation of spline ICCs is described by maximizing the marginal likelihood formed by integrating ability over a beta prior distribution....
