In difNLR: DIF and DDF Detection by Non-Linear Regression Models

Log-likelihood and information criteria for an object of "difNLR" class.

Description

S3 methods for extracting log-likelihood, Akaike's information criterion (AIC) and Schwarz's Bayesian criterion (BIC) for an object of "difNLR" class.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'difNLR'
logLik(object, item = "all", ...)

## S3 method for class 'difNLR'
AIC(object, item = "all", ...)

## S3 method for class 'difNLR'
BIC(object, item = "all", ...)

Arguments

object	an object of "difNLR" class.
item	numeric or character: either character "all" to apply for all converged items (default), or a vector of item names (column names of Data), or item identifiers (integers specifying the column number).
...	other generic parameters for S3 methods.

Examples

## Not run: 
# loading data
data(GMAT)
Data <- GMAT[, 1:20] # items
group <- GMAT[, "group"] # group membership variable

# testing both DIF effects using likelihood-ratio test and
# 3PL model with fixed guessing for groups
(x <- difNLR(Data, group, focal.name = 1, model = "3PLcg"))

# AIC, BIC, log-likelihood
AIC(x)
BIC(x)
logLik(x)

# AIC, BIC, log-likelihood for the first item
AIC(x, item = 1)
BIC(x, item = 1)
logLik(x, item = 1)
