MLCIRTwithin (version 1.0)

MLCIRTwithin-package: Latent Class (LC) Item Response Theory (IRT) Models Under 'Within-Item Multi-Dimensionality'

Description

This package provides a flexible framework for the Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis of dichotomous and ordinal polytomous outcomes under the assumption of within-item multi-dimensionality and discreteness of latent traits (abilities). Every level of the abilities identify a latent class of subjects. The fitting algorithms are based on the Expectation-Maximization (EM) paradigm and allow for missing responses and for different item parameterizations. The package also allows for the inclusion individual covariates affecting the class weights.
