    This chapter discusses the general concepts of identification and partial identification of statistical models. We elucidate the identification restrictions to endow with meaning the parameters of interest of the fixed-effects one-parameter logistic model with guessing (1PL-G), a model used in educational measurement. We also review the restrictions for identifying the average treatment effect (ATE) in evaluating a policy or program. To address the fundamental problem of causal inference, we also present a partial identification analysis of the ATE. On the basis of the results, we emphasize the relevance of an identification analysis and the usefulness of considering a partial identification approach in causal inference.
