Nonparametric Ability Estimation

Nonparametric Ability Estimation is a method of ability estimation that belongs to the class of item response modeling techniques and is distinguished by its avoidance of prespecified parametric functional forms for item characteristic curves, relying instead on flexible, data-driven approaches to model latent trait relationships.
