The implementation problem lies at the heart of a theory of institutions.Simply stated, the aim of implementation theory is to investigate in a rigorous way the relationships between outcomes in a society and how those outcomes arise. The first part of “Bayesian Implementation” presents a basic model of the Bayesian implementation problem and summarizes and…
The modeling of item response data is governed by item response theory, also referred to as modern test theory. The eld of inquiry of item response theory has become very large and shows the enormous progress that has been made. The mainstream literature is focused on frequentist statistical methods for – timating model parameters and…
