(i.e., true/false). The most complex unidimensional dichotomous IRT model described here
is the 4PL IRT model. The Rasch model (Rasch, 1960) assumes discrimination fixed to \\(a = 1\\),
guessing fixed to \\(c = 0\\), and innatention to \\(d = 1\\). Additionally, other restricted
models (1PL, 2PL, and 3PL models) can be obtained by fixing appropriate parameters in
the 4PL model."),
