In this paper, an extensional item relational structure theory based on the improved nonparametric item response theory is proposed. Item relational structure theory (Takeya, 1991) was developed to detect item relational structures of a group of subjects. The differences of these structures and experts knowledge structures can provide more information for planning remedial instruction, developing instruction materials, or educational researches. In this study, Lius improved nonparametric item response theory ( Liu, 2000, 2013) without the local independence assumption is used to estimate the joint probability of two items, and construct personal item relational structures. A Mathematics example is also provided in this paper to illustrate the advantages of the proposed method

A relational structure is called weakly atomic-compact if and only if every set Σ of atomic formulas (taken from the first-order language of the similarity type of augmented by a possibly uncountable set of additional variables as “unknowns”) is satisfiable in whenever every finite subset of Σ is so satisfiable. This notion (as well as some related ones which will be mentioned in §4) was introduced by J. Mycielski as a generalization to model theory of I. Kaplansky's notion of an algebraically compact Abelian group (cf. [5], [7], [1], [8]).
