coef.ddfMLR: Extract model coefficients from an object of "ddfMLR" class.

Description

S3 method for extracting estimated model coefficients from an object of "ddfMLR" class.

Usage

# S3 method for ddfMLR
coef(object, SE = FALSE, simplify = FALSE, IRTpars = TRUE, CI = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of "ddfMLR" class.

SE

logical: should the standard errors of estimated parameters be also returned? (default is FALSE).

simplify

logical: should the estimated parameters be simplified to a matrix? (default is FALSE).

IRTpars

logical: should the estimated parameters be returned in IRT parameterization? (default is TRUE).

CI

numeric: level of confidence interval for parameters, default is 0.95 for 95% confidence interval.

...

other generic parameters for coef() function.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# loading data
data(GMATtest, GMATkey)
Data <- GMATtest[, 1:20] # items
group <- GMATtest[, "group"] # group membership variable
key <- GMATkey # correct answers

# testing both DDF effects
(x <- ddfMLR(Data, group, focal.name = 1, key))

# estimated parameters
coef(x)
# includes standard errors
coef(x, SE = TRUE)
# includes standard errors and simplifies to matrix
coef(x, SE = TRUE, simplify = TRUE)
# intercept-slope parameterization
coef(x, IRTpars = FALSE)
# intercept-slope parameterization, simplifies to matrix, turn off confidence intervals
coef(x, IRTpars = FALSE, simplify = TRUE, CI = 0)
