TAM (version 4.2-21)

IRT.residuals: Residuals in an IRT Model

Description

Defines an S3 method for the computation of observed residual values. The computation of residuals is based on weighted likelihood estimates as person parameters, see tam.wle. IRT.residuals can only be applied for unidimensional IRT models. The methods IRT.residuals and residuals are equivalent.

Usage

IRT.residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml
IRT.residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml
residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml.2pl
IRT.residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml.2pl
residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml.mfr
IRT.residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.mml.mfr
residuals(object, ...)
# S3 method for tam.jml
IRT.residuals(object, ...)
