easyRasch2: Psychometric Analysis with Rasch Measurement Theory

Description

Streamlines reproducible Rasch measurement theory analyses for ordinal item-response data, combining estimation routines from 'eRm', 'psychotools', 'mirt', 'iarm', and 'lavaan' with consistent diagnostic, plotting, and reporting layers. Covers the four basic psychometric criteria summarised by Christensen et al. (2021) \Sexpr[results=rd]{tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1111/sms.13908")} – unidimensionality, local independence, ordered response category thresholds, and invariance across subgroups – together with item fit, targeting, reliability, category functioning, and descriptive item-response plots. A distinguishing feature is the use of simulation-based critical values to replace rule-of-thumb cutoffs for conditional infit mean-square, Yen's Q3 local-dependence statistic, the largest residual-PCA eigenvalue, ordinal CFA fit indices, and partial-gamma DIF and local-dependence coefficients, optionally augmented with multiplicity-corrected bootstrap p-values. Outputs are knitr::kable() tables and 'ggplot2' figures suitable for direct inclusion in 'Quarto' and 'R Markdown' reports.
