Parameter constraints of the logit form of the reduced RUM

Abstract

The Reduced Reparameterized Unified Model (Reduced RUM) has received considerable attention among educational researchers. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) or Expectation Maximization (EM) is typically used for estimating the Reduced RUM. Implementations of the EM algorithm are available in the latent class analysis (LCA) routines of commercial software packages (e.g., Latent GOLD, Mplus). Using a commercial LCA routine as a vehicle for fitting the Reduced RUM with the EM algorithm requires that it be reparameterized as a logit model, with complex constraints imposed on the parameters. This article summarizes the general parameterization of the Reduced RUM as a logit model and the associated parameter constraints.
