Dear R-users, I'd like to announce the release of the new version of package 'ltm' for analyzing multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data under the Item Response Theory approach. New features: * function tpm() (along with supporting methods, i.e., anova, plot, margins, factor.scores, etc.) has been added for fitting Birnbaum's Three Parameter Model. * grm() can now handle mix of dichotomous and polytomous items. * descript() returns more output, especially for dichotomous manifest variables. For more details check the CHANGES file. Future plans include development of functions for goodness-of-fit, and the Partial Credit Model. Any kind of feedback (questions, suggestions, bug-reports, etc.) is more than welcome.
