CCT models operate on response data, in which the answer key is latent. The current paper develops methods to enhance the application of these models by developing the appropriate specifications for hierarchical Bayesian inference. A primary contribution is the methodology for integrating the use of covariates into CCT models. More specifically, both person- and item-related parameters are introduced as random effects that can respectively account for patterns of inter-individual and inter-item variability.
