The goal of rrum
is to provide an implementation of Gibbs sampling
algorithm for Bayesian Estimation of Reduced Reparameterized Unified
Model (rrum), described by Culpepper and Hudson (2017) \<doi:
10.1177/0146621617707511>.
You can install rrum
from CRAN using:
install.packages("rrum")
Or, you can be on the cutting-edge development version on GitHub using:
# install.packages('remotes')
remotes::install_github("tmsalab/rrum")
To use rrum
, load the package using:
library("rrum")
From here, the rRUM model can be estimated using:
rrum_model = rrum(<data>, <q>)
Additional parameters can be accessed with:
rrum_model = rrum(<data>, <q>, chain_length = 10000L,
as = 1, bs = 1, ag = 1, bg = 1,
delta0 = rep(1, 2^ncol(Q)))
rRUM
item data can be simulated using:
# Set a seed for reproducibility
set.seed(888)
# Setup Parameters
N = 15 # Number of Examinees / Subjects
J = 10 # Number of Items
K = 2 # Number of Skills / Attributes
# Simulate identifiable Q matrix
Q = sim_q_matrix(J, K)
# Penalties for failing to have each of the required attributes
rstar = .5 * Q
# The probabilities of answering each item correctly for individuals
# who do not lack any required attribute
pistar = rep(.9, J)
# Latent Class Probabilities
pis = c(.1, .2, .3, .4)
# Generate latent attribute profile with custom probability (N subjects by K skills)
subject_alphas = sim_subject_attributes(N, K, prob = pis)
# Simulate rrum items
rrum_items = simcdm::sim_rrum_items(Q, rstar, pistar, subject_alphas)
