thresholds | R Documentation |
This function transforms the beta parameters into threshold parameters. These can be interpreted by means of log-odds as visualized in ICC plots.

Arguments for thresholds
:
object |
Object of class |
Arguments for print
, summary
, and confint
methods:
x |
Object of class |
parm |
Parameter specification (ignored). |
level |
Alpha-level. |
... |
Further arguments to be passed to methods. They are ignored. |
For dichotomous models (i.e., RM and LLTM) threshold parameters are not computed.
The print
method returns a location parameter for each item which is the
mean of the corresponding threshold parameters. For LPCM and LRSM the thresholds are
computed for each design matrix block (i.e., measurement point/group) separately
(PCM and RSM have only 1 block).
The function thresholds
returns an object of class threshold
containing:
threshpar |
Vector with threshold parameters. |
se.thresh |
Vector with standard errors. |
threshtable |
Data frame with location and threshold parameters. |
