Returns the test response function (TRF) of the 3PL (1PL, 2PL) model. The
TRF is the sum of the item response functions (IRF) in a test, and
represents the expected score as a function of the latent variable
\(\theta\).
Usage
trf(ip, x = NULL)
Arguments
ip
Item parameters: the output of est, or a 3-column matrix
corresponding to its first element, est.
x
The values of the latent variable (\(\theta\) in the equation
above), at which the IRF will be evaluated. If not given, 99 values spaced
evenly between -4 and +4 will be used, handy for plotting.
Value
A list of:
x
A copy of the argument x
f
A
vector containing the TRF values
Details
A common use of this function would be to obtain a plot of the TRF.
