Abstract

Two estimation procedures for the Rasch Model are reviewed in detail, particularly with respect to new developments that make the more statistically rigorous Conditional Maximum Likelihood estimation practical for use with longish tests. Emphasis of the review is on European developments which are not well known in the English writing world.
