plotDif: plotDif

Description

Creates a plot (ggplot2 object) of item parameter estimates common to two system files (e.g., a DIF analysis).

Usage

plotDif(mySysToItemDifDf, myScale = "centred", mySuffixes)

Value

A ggplot2 object.

Arguments

mySysToItemDifDf

An R object of class data frame returned from conquestr::sysToItemDifDf

myScale

A string specifying if the item parameter estimates displayed should be "centred" (default), "scaled" (z scores), or "none" (raw).

mySuffixes

Examples

mySys1 <- ConQuestSys()
mySys2 <- ConQuestSys()
mySysList <- list(mySys1, mySys2)
myDifDf <- sysToItemDifDf(mySysList, mySuffixes = c("_male", "_female"), myDims = "all")
myDifPlot <- plotDif (myDifDf,myScale = "centred", mySuffixes = c("_male", "_female"))
if (FALSE) {
# if you run the above example you will have the plot in the object `myDifPlot`.
plot(myDifPlot)
}
