reliabilityIRT: Reliability (IRT).

Description

Estimate the reliability in item response theory.

Usage

reliabilityIRT(information, varTheta = 1)

Value

Reliability for that amount of test information.

Arguments

information

Test information.

varTheta

Variance of theta.

Details

Examples

# Calculate information for 4 items
item1 <- itemInformation(b = -2, a = 0.6, theta = -4:4)
item2 <- itemInformation(b = -1, a = 1.2, theta = -4:4)
item3 <- itemInformation(b = 1, a = 1.5, theta = -4:4)
item4 <- itemInformation(b = 2, a = 2, theta = -4:4)

items <- data.frame(item1, item2, item3, item4)

# Calculate test information
items$testInformation <- rowSums(items)

# Estimate reliability
reliabilityIRT(items$testInformation)
