Hi my friends, I have an issue with ability estimates when running GRM of IRT. I have responses from 242 subjects but got 183 ability estimates. Below is what I did to get the estimates. 1) I have a csv file "P1.csv" and I imported it into R and loaded the "ltm" package by doing: p1<-read.table("P1.csv",header=TRUE,sep=",") library(ltm) 2) I

Using the grm function (graded response IRT model) in the ltm package I receive the following error: Error: subscript out of bounds for several scales I'd like to examine. Here's a small example that if run a few times will likley produce the error at least once ch<-array(round(runif(50,1,5)),c(10,5)) grm(ch,start.val="random") ## or

Dear R-List, to assess the model fit for 2PL-models, I tried to mimic the bootstrap-approach chosen in the GoF.rasch()-function. Not being a statistician, I was wondering whether the following simplification (omit the "chi-squared-expressed model fit-step") would be appropriate: GoF.ltm <- function(object, B = 50, ...){ liFits <- list() for(i in 1:B){ rndDat <-

The first version of the package plink has been uploaded to CRAN. plink is a package for conducting unidimensional IRT scaling and chain linking for multiple groups for single-format or mixed-format common items. The package supports eight IRT models and four calibration methods. Dichotomous Models: 1PL, 2PL, 3PL Polytomous Models: -Graded response model -Partial credit model -Generalized

An updated version of the package plink has been uploaded to CRAN. This is a major revision that now includes multidimensional models and methods. plink is a package for conducting unidimensional and multidimensional IRT-based test linking using separate calibration methods for multiple groups for single-format or mixed-format common items. The package supports sixteen IRT models and eleven

Dear R-users, I'd like to announce the release of the new version of package `ltm' (i.e., ltm_0.8-0 soon available from CRAN) for Item Response Theory analyses. This package provides a flexible framework for analyzing dichotomous and polytomous data under IRT, including the Rasch model, the Two-Parameter Logistic model, Birnbaum's Three-Parameter model, the Latent Trait model

Hello All, I was wondering how I can get the overall Pearson chi^2 test of model fit with its df and p value in the LTM package for the 2PL models. Thanks, -- Davood Tofighi Department of Psychology Arizona State University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-List, I tried to fit a partial credit model using the "pcmdat" from eRm-package comparing the results of mirt, eRm, ltm and winsteps. The results where quite different, though. I cannot figure out what went wrong and I do not know which result I can rely on. This is what I did in R library(mirt) #load(file="u3.RData")

In the near future I will release MiscPsycho, a package that contains various functions useful for applied psychometricians. I would like to include some data sets for distribution in the package, but have not created any of these on my own, but have used data distributed in other packages such as the LSAT data in the ltm package. Is it appropriate for me to distribute a data set in the package I

I have the following item response theory (IRT) likelihood that I want to maximize w.r.t. to theta (student ability). L(\theta) = \prod(p(x)) Where p(x) is the 3-parameter logistic model when items are scored dichotomously (x_{ij} = 0 or 1) and p(x) is Muraki's generalized partial credit model when items are scored polytomously (x_{ij} = 0 \ldots J). Now, I wrote the following two functions

Hi: I have been working in Item Response Theory, exactly, with Nominal Response Model (NRM). Exist in R a function for estimate parameter and ability from database for this Model?. Thank you, Xavier G. Ordóñez [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-users, I'd like to announce the new version of package 'ltm' for Item Response Theory analysis. The function grm() (along with supporting methods, i.e., anova, margins, factor.scores, etc.) has been added for fitting the Graded Response Model for ordinal polytomous manifest variables. An extra feature of the plot method for classes 'grm', 'ltm' and

I had an open session working in R and I regularly save the image with save.image(). However, after a period of inactivity of a few days. I quit the session. Now, when I try to restart R and load the same image I get the following result: > load("y:/grm/sdata/.rdata1") Error in load("y:/grm/sdata/.rdata1") : an xdr real data read error occured Can someone explain the cause

Dear all, I'm working on ability estimates using Rasch model. Using the "ltm" package, the procedure is quite simple: ## Factor Scores for the Rasch model fit <- rasch(LSAT) factor.scores(fit) What about Partial Credit Model (PCM)? For PCM I use PCM function from eRm package. Is there any similar function like factor.scores to estimate ability scores using PCM model? Best,
