Stochastic approximation EM for large-scale exploratory IRT factor analysis.

A stochastic approximation EM algorithm (SAEM) is described for exploratory factor analysis of dichotomous or ordinal variables. The factor structure is obtained from sufficient statistics that are updated during iterations with the Robbins-Monro procedure. Two large-scale simulations are reported t...
