S3 Methods for Extracting Item Response Functions

This S3 method extracts item response functions evaluated at a grid of abilities (skills). Item response functions can be plotted using the IRT.irfprobPlot function.

IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for din
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for gdina
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for gdm
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for mcdina
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for reglca
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

# S3 method for slca
IRT.irfprob(object, ...)

Arguments

object

Object of classes din, gdina, mcdina, gdm, slca, reglca.

...

More arguments to be passed.

Value

An array with item response probabilities (items ×

categories × skill classes [× group]) and attributes

theta

Uni- or multidimensional skill space (theta grid in item response models).

prob.theta

Probability distribution of theta

skillspace

Design matrix and estimated parameters for skill space distribution (only for IRT.posterior.slca)

G

Number of groups
