data |
numeric: binary data matrix or data frame. See Details. |
item.names |
character: the names of items. |
k |
numeric: number of groups to which may be data.frame x divided by the total score. Default value is 3. See Details. |
l |
numeric: lower group. Default value is 1. See Details. |
u |
numeric: upper group. Default value is 3. See Details. |
The data
is a matrix or data frame whose rows represents examinee answers
("1" correct, "0" incorrect) and columns correspond to the items. The item.names
argument stands for names of items. If not specified, the names of dataset columns are used.
Generalized discrimination is computed as follows: The function takes data on individuals,
computes their total test score and then divides individuals into k
groups. The lower and
upper group are determined by l
and u
parameters, i.e. l-th and u-th group where
the ordering is defined by increasing total score.
Generalized discrimination is calculated by gDiscrim
function, generalized version
of discrim
function in psychometric
package.
