## The nominal response model

The nominal response model is available if the data type is multiple choice or graded. Each option of each item has two parameters, the threshold and the slope. Unlike the graded response model, no order is forced on the options. If the data type is graded, then the value of the options is used only for the initialisation and to compute the item characteristic curves.
