An Approximation to the True Ability Distribution in the Binomial Error Model and Applications. Research Memorandum 79-5 [electronic resource] / Huynh Huynh and Garrett K. Mandeville.

Assuming that the density p of the true ability theta in the binomial test score model is continuous in the closed interval (0, 1), a Bernstein polynomial can be used to uniformly approximate p. Then via quadratic programming techniques, least-square estimates may be obtained for the coefficients de...
