  <dc:title>Family of Bayesian EMM Algorithm for Item Response Models</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package IRTBEMM version 1.0.8</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Applying the family of the Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization (BEMM) algorithm to estimate: (1) Three parameter logistic (3PL) model proposed by Birnbaum (1968, ISBN:9780201043105); (2) four parameter logistic (4PL) model proposed by Barton &amp; Lord (1981) &lt;doi:10.1002/j.2333-8504.1981.tb01255.x&gt;; (3) one parameter logistic guessing (1PLG) and (4) one parameter logistic ability-based guessing (1PLAG) models proposed by San Martín et al (2006) &lt;doi:10.1177/0146621605282773&gt;. The BEMM family includes (1) the BEMM algorithm for 3PL model proposed by Guo &amp; Zheng (2019) &lt;doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01175&gt;; (2) the BEMM algorithm for 1PLG model and (3) the BEMM algorithm for 1PLAG model proposed by Guo, Wu, Zheng, &amp; Chen (2021) &lt;doi:10.1177/0146621621990761&gt;; (4) the BEMM algorithm for 4PL model proposed by Zheng, Guo, &amp; Kern (2021) &lt;doi:10.1177/21582440211052556&gt;; and (5) their maximum likelihood estimation versions proposed by Zheng, Meng, Guo, &amp; Liu (2018) &lt;doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2017.02302&gt;. Thus, both Bayesian modal estimates and maximum likelihood estimates are available.</dc:description>
