Use of radial basis functions(RBFs) in the numerical solution of partial differential equations has gained popularity as it is meshless and can readily be extended to multi-dimensional problems. RBFs have been used in different context and emerged as a potential alternative for numerical...

Asymptotic cumulants of the Bayes modal estimators of item parameters using marginal likelihood in item response theory are derived up to the fourth order with added higher-order asymptotic variances under possible model misspecification. Among them, only the first asymptotic cumulant and the...
