tam_irf_3pl: Item Response Function for the 3PL Model

In TAM: Test Analysis Modules

Item Response Function for the 3PL Model

Description

Computes the item response function for the 3PL model in the TAM package.

Usage

tam_irf_3pl(theta, AXsi, B, guess=NULL, subtract_max=TRUE)

Arguments

theta	Matrix or vector of \bold{\theta} values
AXsi	Matrix of item-category parameters
B	Array containing item-category loadings
guess	Optional parameter of guessing parameters
subtract_max	Logical indicating whether numerical underflow in probabilities should be explicitly avoided

Value

Array containing item response probabilities arranged by the dimensions theta points \times items \times categories
