tam.ctt.Rd
The functions computes some item statistics based on classical test theory.
tam.ctt(resp, wlescore=NULL, pvscores=NULL, group=NULL, progress=TRUE) tam.ctt2(resp, wlescore=NULL, group=NULL, allocate=30, progress=TRUE) tam.ctt3(resp, wlescore=NULL, group=NULL, allocate=30, progress=TRUE, max_ncat=30, pweights=NULL) tam.cb( dat, wlescore=NULL, group=NULL, max_ncat=30, progress=TRUE, pweights=NULL, digits_freq=5) plotctt( resp, theta, Ncuts=NULL, ask=FALSE, col.list=NULL, package="lattice", ... )
resp | A data frame with unscored or scored item responses |
---|---|
wlescore | A vector with person parameter estimates, e.g. weighted likelihood
estimates obtained from |
pvscores | A matrix with plausible values, e.g. obtained from |
group | Vector of group identifiers if descriptive statistics shall be groupwise calculated |
progress | An optional logical indicating whether computation progress should be displayed. |
allocate | Average number of categories per item. This argument is just used for matrix size allocations. If an error is produced, use a sufficiently higher number. |
max_ncat | Maximum number of categories of variables for which frequency tables should be computed |
pweights | Optional vector of person weights |
dat | Data frame |
digits_freq | Number of digits for rounding in frequency table |
theta | A score to be conditioned |
Ncuts | Number of break points for |
ask | A logical which asks for changing the graphic from item to item.
The default is |
col.list | Optional vector of colors for plotting |
package | Package used for plotting. Can be |
... | Further arguments to be passed. |
The functions tam.ctt2
and tam.ctt3
use Rcpp code
and are slightly faster.
However, only tam.ctt
allows the input of wlescore
and
pvscores
.
A data frame with following columns:
Index variable in this data frame
Group identifier
Item number
Item
Number of students responding to this item
Category label
Absolute frequency of category
Relative frequency of category
Point biserial correlation of an item category and the WLE
Mean of the WLE of students in this item category
Standard deviation of the WLE of students in this item category
Point biserial correlation of an item category and the PV
Mean of the PV of students in this item category
Standard deviation of the PV of students in this item category
For dichotomously scored data, rpb.WLE
is the ordinary point biserial
correlation of an item and a test score (here the WLE).
