sim_4pl: Simulate data for 1/2/3/4-pl model

Description

This function returns a dichotomous matrix of simulated responses under given item and person parameters.

Usage

sim_4pl(beta, alpha, lowerA, upperA, theta)

Arguments

beta

A numeric vector which contains the difficulty parameters for each item.

alpha

A numeric vector, which contains the slope parameters for each item.

lowerA

A numeric vector, which contains the lower asymptote parameters (kind of guessing parameter) for each item.

upperA

numeric vector, which contains the upper asymptote parameters for each item.

theta

A numeric vector which contains person parameters.
