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.
