trf

Test response function

Description

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 θ.

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 (θ 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.

Details

A common use of this function would be to obtain a plot of the TRF.

Value

A list of:

`x`	A copy of the argument `x`
`f`	A vector containing the TRF values
