marginal_rxx: Function to calculate the marginal reliability

Description

Given an estimated model and a prior density function, compute the marginal reliability (Thissen and Wainer, 2001). This is only available for unidimensional tests.

Usage

marginal_rxx(mod, density = dnorm, ...)

Arguments

mod

an object of class 'SingleGroupClass'

density

a density function to use for integration. Default assumes the latent traits are from a normal (Gaussian) distribution

...

additional arguments passed to the density function

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {

dat <- expand.table(deAyala)
mod <- mirt(dat, 1)

# marginal estimate
marginal_rxx(mod)

# }
# NOT RUN {
# empirical estimate (assuming the same prior)
fscores(mod, returnER = TRUE)

# empirical rxx the alternative way, given theta scores and SEs
fs <- fscores(mod, full.scores.SE=TRUE)
head(fs)
empirical_rxx(fs)

# }
