mirt (version 1.35.1)

probtrace: Function to calculate probability trace lines

Description

Given an internal mirt object extracted from an estimated model, or the single-group estimated model itself, compute the probability trace lines for all categories.

Usage

probtrace(x, Theta)

Arguments

x

either an extracted internal mirt object containing item information (see extract.item) or a model of class SingleGroupClass typically returned by the function mirt or bfactor

Theta

a vector (unidimensional) or matrix (unidimensional/multidimensional) of latent trait values
