Functions are available for calculating the Jeffreys prior for IRT models, calculating the information utility for individual response vectors, calculating the expected information utility for a set of response vectors, and estimating the criterion information utility.
Jeffreys
calculates the Jeffreys prior for IRT models, and optionally returns the normalizing constant used in calculating the prior.iota
returns the expected information utility for a set of response vectors, together with the individual information utilities, and optionally tests for a change from the prior to posterior probability of a latent trait value.
iota.c
returns an estimate of the criterion information utility and its standard error.
rJeffreys
randomly generates latent trait values from a Jeffreys prior distribution.
