• Biculustring.norminal is available!
• Biclustering.ordinal is available!
• New function GridSerch() for grid search optimization of model parameters
• Bugfix: Fix output typos(class/rank)
• Added duplicate ID validation to dataFormat()
• Bugfix: Fix ID column detection in dataFormat()
• Bugfix: Fix stanine division error when unable to split data

exameterika 1.5.2 on March 29, 2025

• Bugfix: Fix output typos(TestStatisticsFunction,GRMs)

exameterika 1.5.1 on March 8, 2025

• Field analysis for Biclustering is included in the Biclustering() function
• Class/Rank Reference Vector plot is now available.
• Bug Fix for polychoric correlations

exametrika 1.5.0 on March 5, 2025

• New function GRM is available!

exametrika 1.4.4 on March 3, 2025

• In Exametrika 1.4.1, bug fixes were made.
• In 1.4.2, it became possible to calculate polychoric correlation and polyserial correlation.
• In 1.4.3, item analysis for polytomous items became available.
• In 1.4.4, we renamed "ICC" to "IRF," although they refer to the same concept (Item Characteristic Curves and Item Response Functions are interchangeable terms). The function will interpret "ICC" input as "IRF" automatically. Additionally, Test Response Function (TRF) output was also made available.
