rpf.ot2000.chisq1: Compute S-Chi-squared fit statistic for 1 item

Description

Implements the Kang & Chen (2007) polytomous extension to S-Chi-squared statistic of Orlando & Thissen (2000). Fails in the presence of missing data.

Usage

rpf.ot2000.chisq1(spec, param, free, item, observed, quad = NULL)

Arguments

spec
a list of item specifications
param
item paramters
free
a matrix of the same shape as param indicating whether the parameter is free (TRUE) or fixed
item
the item of interest
observed
a matrix of observed raw scores by the outcome of the item of interest
quad
the quadrature rule (default is equally spaced intervals with 49 points)

Details

NOTE: IRTPRO 2.1 uses an equal interval quadrature rule by default.

WARNING: The algorithm for collapsing low-count cells has not been tested thoroughly.
