Generalized residuals are a tool employed in the analysis of contingency tables to examine possible sources of model error. They have typically been applied to log-linear models and to latent-class models. A general approach to generalized residuals is developed for a very general class of...

This article presents an application of a stochastic approximation expectation maximization (EM) algorithm using a Metropolis-Hastings (MH) sampler to estimate the parameters of an item response latent regression model. Latent regression item response models are extensions of item response...
