The 'equate' package, designed for statistical equating (non-IRT) of test score distributions, is available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=equate The package was developed for both research and teaching purposes, and will hopefully be useful for both. A vignette introduces the basic concepts and terminology of traditional equating, and demonstrates the functionality of the package. Mean, linear, equipercentile, and circle-arc equating are supported and specific methods include Tucker, Levine observed score, Levine true score, Braun/Holland, frequency estimation, and chained equating (linear and nonlinear). Univariate and bivariate presmoothing are also supported, as is estimation of standard error via bootstrapping. Additional info can be found at the rwiki: http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=packages:cran:equate Suggestions are much appreciated!
