Abstract
Two algorithms are described for marginal maximum likelihood estimation for the one-parameter logistic model. The more efficient of the two algorithms is extended to estimation for the linear logistic model. Numerical examples of both procedures are presented.

The Em procedure is shown to apply to general item-response models lacking simple sufficient statistics for ability, including models with more than one latent dimension, when computing procedures based on an EM algorithm are used.
