Abstract
In this chapter, the polytomous Rasch model is introduced, based on the original formulation by Georg Rasch in the 1960 Berkeley Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability. The various versions of the basic model, suggested in the literature, are briefly mentioned and compared. The main part of the chapter deals with estimation problems, theoretically as well as numerically. The connection to the RC-association models is discussed, and finally the theory is illustrated by means of data from a Danish psychiatric rating scale.
