This dataset includes item parameter estimates and covariance matrices of a Rasch model applied to 5 simulated datasets with common items. See details for more information on the linkage plan.
data(estrasch)A list of length 2 with components:
coefa list of length 5 containing the matrices of item parameter estimates. Each matrix presents 2 columns; the first column contains difficulty parameters and the second column is equal to 1. See details for information on the parameterization used. Names of rows correspond to the names of the items.
vara list of length 5 containing the covariance matrices of item parameter estimates.

Every form is composed by 20 items and presents 10 items in common
with adjacent forms. Furthermore, forms 1 and 5 present 10 common items.
Use linkp to obtain a matrix with elements equal to the
number of common items between different forms.
Item parameters are given under the parameterization used in the ltm package.
Under this parameterization, the Rasch model is as follows
$$\pi_i = \frac{\exp(\beta_{1i} + z)}{1 + \exp(\beta_{1i} + z)},$$
where \(\pi_i\) denotes the conditional probability of responding correctly to the \(i\)th item given \(z\),
\(\beta_{1i}\) is the easiness parameter, and \(z\) denotes the
latent ability.
