GDINA (version 2.9.4)

bootSE: Calculating standard errors and variance-covariance matrix using bootstrap methods

Description

This function conducts nonparametric and parametric bootstrap to calculate standard errors of model parameters. Parametric bootstrap is only applicable to single group models.

Usage

bootSE(GDINA.obj, bootsample = 50, type = "nonparametric", randomseed = 12345)

Value

itemparm.se standard errors for item probability of success in list format

delta.se standard errors for delta parameters in list format

lambda.se standard errors for structural parameters of joint attribute distribution

boot.est resample estimates

Arguments

GDINA.obj

an object of class GDINA

bootsample

the number of bootstrap samples

type

type of bootstrap method. Can be parametric or nonparametric

randomseed

random seed for resampling

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# For illustration, only 5 resamples are run
# results are definitely not reliable
