† Not applicable; the number of item parameters estimated depends upon the IRT model used for scaling.
NOTE: For item j, aj represents the discriminatory power of the item, bj represents a location parameter related to item difficulty, cj represents the guessing parameter, and dji is the category threshold parameter for category i. The c-parameter value is exactly zero for items scaled with the two-parameter logistic model or the generalized partial credit model.
