Estimate the probability of a correct response

Description

This function works because we know we have a Rasch model, otherwise the function would be just a bit more complicated. Provides the probability of a correct response for a given item difficulty, b, and a given ability estimate, theta. Note that theta is typically passed as a vector of abilities and so a vector of probabilities is returned.

Usage

prob(b, theta)

Arguments

b

The item difficulty estimate

theta

The person ability estimate. This is the theta estimate from get_person_estimates() (not the RIT score).
