Description
Fast Estimation of CUB Models via Louis' Identity.
Description
For ordinal rating data, consider the accelerated EM algorithm to estimate and test models within the family of CUB models (where CUB stands for Combination of a discrete Uniform and a shifted Binomial distributions). The procedure is built upon Louis' identity for the observed information matrix. Best-subset variable selection is then implemented since it becomes more feasible from the computational point of view.
