Overview

About

Maintained by Hansjörg PlieningerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Item response tree (IR-tree) models are a class of item response theory (IRT) models that assume that the responses to polytomous items can best be explained by multiple psychological processes; see Böckenholt (2012) doi:10.1037/a0028111 for details. The package 'ItemResponseTrees' allows to fit such IR-tree models in 'mirt', 'Mplus', or 'TAM'. The package automates some of the hassle of IR-tree modeling by means of a consistent syntax. This allows new users to quickly adopt this model class, and this allows experienced users to fit many complex models effortlessly.

Changes in 0.2.5

Fixed tests and vignette that failed due to changes in package mirt version 1.32.1.
augment() now consistently prefixes new columns with .fitted. or .se.fit.. Furthermore, its argument se.fit was renamed to se_fit (as recommended by package modeltests).
Uncoupled README from the vignette; README is now much shorter.
R (>= 3.6.0) is now required in alignment with the dependency mirt.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ItemResponseTrees/ItemResponseTrees_0.2.5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ItemResponseTrees_0.2.5.tar.gz"

install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.2.5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("hplieninger/ItemResponseTrees")

Development version from hplieninger/ItemResponseTrees. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
