mirtCluster: Define a parallel cluster object to be used in internal functions
Description
This function defines a object that is placed in a relevant
internal environment defined in mirt. Internal functions
such as calcLogLik, fscores, etc, will
utilize this object automatically to capitalize on parallel
processing architecture. The object defined is a call from
parallel::makeCluster(). Note that if you are
defining other parallel objects (for simulation desings,
for example) it is not recommended to define a mirtCluster.
Usage
mirtCluster(ncores, remove = FALSE)
Arguments
ncores
number of cores to be used in the returned
object which is passed to parallel::makeCluster().
If no input is given the maximum number of available
cores will be used
