plot.iio.class: Plot iio.class objects

Description

S3 Method to plot objects of class iio.class. Graphic display of the checks of iio. One graph for each item plotting the estimated item step response functions.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'iio.class':
plot(x, item.pairs = all.pairs, ask = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

Object of class iio.class produced by check.iio.

item.pairs

vector containing the numbers of the item pairs for which the results are depicted graphically. For example, item.pairs = 1 prints the results for items 1 and 2, item.pairs = 2 prints the results for items 1 and 3,

ask

Boolean. If TRUE (default), then par("ask"=TRUE); i.e., a hard return between subsequent plots is required. If FALSE, then par("ask"=FALSE).

...

Optional graphical parameters will be ignored

Value

• Returns a graph.

Details

The plot function corresponds to method MIIO; each graph plots the estimated item response functions (item rest-score functions) for two items. The default graphic device in R may only display the last graph.
