R help - Nov 2006 - Nominal Respose Model in R

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,

AFAIK there exist functions to fit IRT models only for ordinal data.

In particular, look at function grm() that fits the Graded Response  
Model in the 'ltm' package (using Marginal Maximum Likelihood),  
function PCM() in the 'eRm' package (using Condtional Maximum  
Likelihood), and function MCMCordfactanal() in the 'MCMCpack' package  
(using a Bayesian approach).

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
