Calculate Fisher information (single item)
info_* and array_info_* are functions to calculate Fisher information.
info_1pl(x, b) info_2pl(x, a, b) info_3pl(x, a, b, c) info_pc(x, b) info_gpc(x, a, b) info_gr(x, a, b) array_info_1pl(x, b) array_info_2pl(x, a, b) array_info_3pl(x, a, b, c) array_info_pc(x, b) array_info_gpc(x, a, b) array_info_gr(x, a, b)
x |
the theta value. This must be a column vector in matrix form for |
b |
the *b*-parameter. |
a |
the *a*-parameter. |
c |
the *c*-parameter. |
info_* functions accept a single theta value, and array_info_* functions accept multiple theta values.
Currently supports unidimensional models.
info_1pl, array_info_1pl: 1PL models
info_2pl, array_info_2pl: 2PL models
info_3pl, array_info_3pl: 3PL models
info_pc, array_info_pc: PC (partial credit) models
info_gpc, array_info_gpc: GPC (generalized partial credit) models
info_gr, array_info_gr: GR (graded response) models
