Description

generateItemParameterSample is a function for generating item parameter samples. Used for the FB (full-Bayesian) estimation method.

Usage

generateItemParameterSample(config, item_pool, bayesian_constants)

Value

If either the interim or the final theta estimation method is FB, generateItemParameterSample returns a length-ni list of item parameter matrices, with each matrix having n_sample rows. Otherwise, the function returns NULL.

Arguments

a config_Shadow object. Use createShadowTestConfig for this.

item_pool

an item_pool object. Use loadItemPool for this.
