Examples

#Simulates a test and returns a list:
test <- simulateTest()

#the simulated data:
t_data <- test$test

#model:
mod <- irtpp(dataset = t_data,model = "3PL")

#Envelopes:
item <- 8
numboot <- 100
alpha <- 0.05

#call the function:
plotenvelope(item=item,numboot=numboot,alpha=alpha,model=mod,data=t_data)
