ctt2irt
and irt2ctt
are converter functions to change the parametrization of item parameters
from and to classical test theory (difficulty and discrimination parameters) and item response theory (difficulty
and discrimination parameters). Consequently, the conversion is only valid between ctt and 2 parameters logistic or normal models.

rpbis |
numeric; vector of discrimination parameters: point biserial correlation between the item response and the total score. |
difficulty |
vector of difficulty parameters: proportion of corrected responses. |
a |
numeric; vector of discrimination parameters. |
b |
numeric; vector of difficulty parameters. |
c |
numeric; vector of pseudo-guessing parameters (not used for the moment). |
d |
numeric; vector of inattention parameters (not used for the moment). |
model |
character; if NORMAL the constant D (1.702) is used. Default to LOGISTIC with constant D=1. |
Eventually the 3 and 4 parameters logistic and normal models will be taken in account according to Urry approximation (1974).
