How to get the theta parameter from 1 or 2 PL

    I got a solution. There is a error of the commands
    options -default_model_dichotomous 1PL

    It should be written istead of above command

    set_default_model_dichtomous 1PL

    (Here, delete "o" between dich and tomous)

    And this command should appear before command allocate_items_dist

    Therefore the example is

    #
    # mondaty.tcl
    #
    # Estimate item parameters for Form Y items
    # using data for examinees who took Form Y.
    # Example data from Chapters 4 and 6 Kolen and
    # Brennan (1995)

    # Write output to log file mondaty.out
    output -log_file mondaty.log

    # Get 1 PL item value instead of default 3 PL value
    set_default_model_dichtomous 1PL


    # 36 items to be modeled
    allocate_items_dist 36

    # Read examinee item responses from file mondaty.dat.
    # Each record contains the responses to
    # 36 items for an examinee in columns 1-36.
    read_examinees mondaty.dat 36i1

    # Compute starting values for item parameter estimates
    starting_values_dichotomous

    # Perform EM iterations for computing item parameter estimates.
    # Maximum of 50 EM iterations.
    EM_steps -max_iter 50

    # Print item parameter estimates and discrete latent
    # variable distribution.
    print -item_param -latent_dist

    # end of run
    release_items_dist
