similar to: error message while running IRT model

Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to R and would appreciate your help on this problem that I encontered this morning. When running an ordinal IRT model using Ratings package on R, I keep getting this error message. ord.out<-ordrating(UNORD, burnin = 1000, mcmc = 40,000, thin = 400, tune = 1, verbose = 1000, seed = NA) Error in as.vector(as.integer(Y)) : (list) object cannot be coerced to

Dear list, Hi, I am emailing to see if it would be possible to get some help on running MCMCfactanal on R. I am trying to derive a single score measuring a likelihood to recieve IMF loans from 8 different variables related to IMF representation but for reason, my codes do not seem to take me to where I want to be. For some reason my code drops certain rows ( countries) automatically, making it

Hello, my question is; for a specific item, how can I create a plot with both the empirical probability of correct response and the predicted probability as a function of the mean of the ability intervals (similar to a BILOG plot).

Hello forum, I have developed an IRT model for a set of items on a large reference sample. I now want to use the IRT parameters that were estimated in the reference sample to score new individuals, one at a time. What R package(s) would allow me to do this? Also, several covariates were associated with item thresholds in the reference sample, so I was wondering if any programs can take

Hi Everybody, I have just been introduced to R and have used the ltm package for calibrating items under IRT. I have been able to get the item parameters using the fit function under different models. I am using the 2PL model. I have got the parameters for some 300 items from 15 different tests using the function fit. Now I need to automatically generate tests such that they have atleast a

Hi: I need to apply the IRT model from Ramsay (1991), He apply the Smoothing Kernel to multiple choice test. Is possible in R?. Thank you, Xavier G. Ordonez Doctoral Student Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Hi all, Could anyone tell me if there is some package that fits any Item Response Model (further the ltm package)? Regards, Caio --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

hello R, This is about simulation in psychomtrics in IRT in R. I want to simulate b parameters(item difficulty) with moments of fixed values of mean, st.d, skewness and kurtosis. Is there any specific IRT package in R with those functions to control those moments? I have seen other programs that can control mean and st.d but not skewness and kurtosis. Thank you, helen L [[alternative HTML

Hello R: i work on an IRT simulation research. I've written a code to generate a single dataset.As i will repeat simulating the data 100 times under every condition, how can i write the R code to make it run the single simulation code 100 times and save the generate results each time? Thanks so much~

Dear All, does anybody know of a package (working under Linux) for multilevel IRT modelling? I'd love to do this without having to go on WINSTEPS or the like.. thanks for the attention!

Dear all members, I am Phd. candidate student at Chulalongkorn U., Thailand. I am interested in expectation maximization algorithm (EM) and multiple imputation (MI) for imputation missing values(missing at random(MAR) and missing not at random (MNAR)) in IRT (3-PL). So, I want to know about package in R or function of EM and MI for simulate this problem I am looking forward your answer.

Dear All, I am Ph.D student at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, I want to use Package 'sampleSection' to estimate missing data which generate under IRT model(3-PL); n<-500 ## number of examinee I<-20 ## number of items num.imp<-5 ##number of imputations p.missing<-c(0.09, 0.01) #prob of missing theta<-sort(rnorm(n,0,1)) #ability a<-rnorm(I,0.5,0.1) #discrimination

hello R: we have a two-parameter IRT simulation code. The goal is to generate a response matrix.But the "for" part doesn't run. we don't know what is wrong with it. Thanks so much~~~ I <- 10 J <- 5 response <- matrix(0, 10, 5) pij <- function(a,b,theta) { a <- rnorm(J, 0.8, 0.04) a b <- rnorm(J, 0, 1) b theta <- rnorm(I, 0,1) theta for( i in 1:I ) { for(

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

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.

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

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

Hello R, I am looking for non-parametric simulation in IRT. Is there any IRT package that does non-parametric simulation? helen L [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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
