Measurement invariance is an important assumption in the Rasch model and mixture models constitute a flexible way of checking for a violation of this assumption by detecting unobserved heterogeneity in item response data. Here, a general class of Rasch mixture models is established and...

It is common knowledge that the performance of different learning algorithms depends on certain characteristics of the data—such as dimensionality, linear separability or sample size. However, formally investigating this relationship in an objective and reproducible way is not trivial. A new...
