In autoFC: Automatic Toolkit for Construction, Optimization, Scoring and Simulation of Forced-Choice Tests

Fast Calculation of Item Block "Energy" with Inter-Item Agreement

Description

Calculates local block energy including IIA metrics. Heavily optimized for Simulated Annealing.

Usage

cal_block_energy_with_iia(
  block,
  char_list,
  weights,
  fun_list,
  rater_chars,
  iia_weights = c(BPlin = 1, BPquad = 1, AClin = 1, ACquad = 1),
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

block	An n by k integer matrix of item indices.
char_list	A list of vectors for item characteristics.
weights	A numeric vector of weights for item characteristics.
fun_list	A list of pre-matched R function objects.
rater_chars	A matrix of participant responses.
iia_weights	A numeric vector of length 4 for IIA metrics.
verbose	Logical. If TRUE, prints metrics. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A numeric value indicating the total energy.
