class.Lee {cacIRT} | R Documentation |
Computes classification accuracy and consistency with Lee's approach. The probability of each possible total score conditional on ability is found with recursive.raw
. Those probabilities are grouped according to the cut scores and used to estimate the indices. See references or code for details.
class.Lee(cutscore, ip, ability = NULL, rdm = NULL, quadrature = NULL, D = 1.7)
Lee.D(cutscore, ip, quadrature, D = 1.7)
Lee.P(cutscore, ip, theta, D = 1.7)
cutscore |
A scalar or vector of cut scores on the True Score scale. If you have cut scores on the theta scale, you can transform them with |
ip |
Matrix of item parameters, columns are discrimination, difficultly, guessing, respectively. For 1PL and 2PL, still give a Jx3 matrix, with |
ability , theta |
Ability estimates for each subject. |
rdm |
The response data matrix with rows as subjects and columns as items |
quadrature |
A list containing 1) The quadrature points and 2) Their corresponding weights |
D |
Scaling constant for IRT parameters, defaults to 1.7, alternatively often set to 1. |
Must give only one ability, rdm, or quadrature. If ability is given, those scores are used for the P method. If rdm is given, ability is estimated with MLE (perfect response patterns given a -4 or 4) and used for the P method. If quadrature, the D method is used. class.Lee
calls Lee.D
or Lee.P
.
Marginal |
A matrix with two columns of marginal accuracy and consistency per cut score (and simultaneous if multiple cutscores are given) |
Conditional |
A list of two matrixes, one for conditional accuracy and one for conditional consistency. Each matrix has one row per subject (or quadrature point). |
In order to score above a cut, an examinee must score at or above the cut score. Since we are working on the total score scale, be aware that if a cut score is given with a decimal (like 2.4), the examinee must have a total score at the next integer or more (so 3 or more) to score above the cut.
