Description Usage Arguments Value References
This function calculates the polyserial correlation between a person's total score and his or her item response. This discrepency measure is useful to detect misfit due to a missing item-slope/-discrimination parameter. It may not be suitable for the response style models discussed herein, because these models assume that the total score as well as the item response is a composite of target trait and response styles.
1 | statistic_item_cor(resp = NULL, revItem = NULL, traitItem = NULL)
|
resp |
Numeric matrix of dimension N x J (for N persons and J items) containing the observed item responses. |
revItem |
vector of length J specifying reversed items (1=reversed, 0=regular) |
traitItem |
vector of length J specifying the underlying traits (e.g., indexed from 1...5). Standard: only a single trait is measured by all items. If the Big5 are measured, might be something like c(1,1,1,2,2,2,...,5,5,5,5) |
