SNSequate (version 1.1-1)
Standard and Nonstandard Statistical Models and Methods for Test
Equating
Description
The package contains functions to perform various models and
methods for test equating. It currently implements the traditional
mean, linear and equipercentile equating methods, as well as the
mean-mean, mean-sigma, Haebara and Stocking-Lord IRT linking methods.
It also supports newest methods such that local equating, kernel
equating (using Gaussian, logistic and uniform kernels), and IRT
parameter linking methods based on asymmetric item characteristic
functions. Functions to obtain both standard error of equating (SEE)
and standard error of equating difference between two equating
functions (SEED) are also implemented for the kernel method of
equating.
