Computation 2018-08-14 v1

Abstract

This paper discusses a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm developed by \citeA{MarsmanIsing}. The algorithm is derived from first principles, and it is proven that the algorithm becomes more efficient with more data and meets the growing demands of large scale educational measurement.
