Scope_plot: Plot the score index 'index' as a function of arc length.

In TestGardener: Information Analysis for Test and Rating Scale Data

Plot the score index index as a function of arc length.

Description

Arc length or scope is the distance along the space curved traced out as score index index increases from 0 to 100. It is measured in bits and is remains unchanged if the score index continuum is modified.

Usage

  Scope_plot(infoSurp, infoSurpvec, titlestr=NULL)

Arguments

infoSurp	This is a positive real number indicating the total length of the space curve. It is expressed in terms of numbers of bits.
infoSurpvec	A vector of length 101 containing equally-spaced arc-length distances along the test information curve.
titlestr	A string for the title of the data.

Value

A gg or ggplot object defining the plot of infoSurp along the test information curve as a function of the score index index. This is displayed by the print command. The plot is automatically displayed as a side value even if no return object is specified in the calling statement.
