Not applicable; c parameters are not estimated for the two-parameter logistic or generalized partial credit models, and d parameters are not estimated for the two-parameter or three-parameter logistic models.
For item j, a represents the discriminatory power of the item, b represents a location parameter related to item difficulty, c represents the guessing parameter, and d represents the category threshold parameter for category i. The c parameter value is assumed to be exactly zero and is not estimated for items scaled with the two-parameter logistic model. For item j, d may not sum to zero because of rounding.
