similar to: Major revision of plink for separate calibration IRT-based linking

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

Hi All, does anyone know how to import binary .bed files generated by Plink (http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/ ) into R? the Plink FAQ explains how to conver other types of files, not the .bed.

Hello, I've already tried asking at the cwrRsync forums with no luck yet, so I thought I would try my luck here. According to the rsync man pages, with the -e option you can use other remote shells, and I had thought plink was one of them, but I could be wrong. I can't seem to find any information anywhere about the proper syntax. What I've been trying, are all kinds of combination

I a using plink on a large SNP dataset with a .map and .ped file. I want to get some sort of file say a list of all the SNPs that plink is saying that I have. ANyideas on how to do this? -- Thanks, Jim. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

snpMatrix package is quite nice (read.plink())

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

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!

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

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

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]]

Hi, Following my earlier posts about having problems performing a PCA, I have worked out what the problem is. The problem lies within the PLINK to gds conversion. It seems as though the SNPs are imported as "samples" and in turn, the samples are recognised as SNPs: >snpsgdsSummary("chr2L") Some values of snp.position are invalid (should be > 0)! Some values of

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

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 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.

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 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.
