Bayesian estimation of multidimensional item response theory model using Gibbs sampling. (English) Zbl 1110.62315

Summary: We propose Bayesian parameter estimation in a multidimensional item response theory model using the Gibbs sampling algorithm. We apply this approach to dichotomous responses to a questionnaire on sleep quality. The analysis helps determine the underlying dimensions.
