Abstract:Item Response Theory (IRT) and Factor Analysis (FA) are two major frameworks for modeling multi-item measurements of latent traits. While the relationship between two-parameter IRT models and dichotomized FA models is well established, FA formulations for IRT models with additional parameters are less common. We focus on the four-parameter factor-analytic (4P FA) model that extends the traditional dichotomized single-factor FA model through a hierarchical mixture formulation accounting for guessing and inattention effects. We analytically establish the equivalence of the 4P FA and 4P IRT models, extending the FA--IRT correspondence beyond the two-parameter case. A Bayesian estimation procedure is developed for model estimation, to estimate the four item parameters, the respondents' latent scores, and the scores adjusted for guessing and inattention effects. The proposed algorithm is implemented in \texttt{R} and \texttt{Python}. A simulation study compares estimation under the FA and IRT formulations of the 4P model and evaluates the practical implications of the FA parametrization. Empirical examples based on an admission test and an anxiety inventory demonstrate the correspondence between the 4P FA and 4P IRT models and illustrate the application of the proposed methodology.
