Latent Variable Number of Observations

In the context of IRT, some researchers have stated that simple 1PL models may be run with as few as 50 participants (Linacre, 1994), and 2PL models require a minimum of 250 individuals; however, several authors have recommended a sample of 500 for accurate parameter estimates in the 2PL model (Baur & Lukes, 2009; Embretson & Reise, 2000).
