Abstract

An alternative derivation is given for a simple test model which incorporates an ability parameter for the subject and difficulty level and guessing parameters for the problem. The probability of a correct response to the problem is a projective transformation of the problem difficulty. The ability and difficulty parameters separate into additive components.
