simDRM: simulate data according to Rasch model

In pcIRT: IRT Models for Polytomous and Continuous Item Responses

Description

With this function data sets according to the dichotomous Rasch model (DRM) are simulated

Usage

simDRM(itempar, persons = 500, seed = NULL)

Arguments

itempar	a vector with item difficulty parameters
persons	number of persons for the generated data set
seed	a seed for the random number generated can optionally be set

Details

Data are generated with category values 0 and 1.
