rel_info: Marginal Reliability of a Unidimensional IRT Model
Description
Compute marginal reliability for a unidimensional IRT model using either
MLE-based or EAP-based information, via Gaussian quadrature over a
standard normal ability distribution.
Usage
rel_info(ip, est)
Value
A single numeric value: the marginal reliability (MLE or EAP,
depending on est).
Arguments
ip
A data frame or matrix of item parameters with columns in the order
b, a, c, where a is on the D = 1.702
metric. If only 1 or 2 columns are supplied, the info() function is
expected to treat them as 1PL/2PL accordingly.
est
A character string specifying the ability estimation method:
"MLE" for maximum likelihood or "EAP" for empirical Bayes.
Details
Gaussian quadrature with 41 nodes on [-5, 5] is used to approximate
the integrals.
