Overview

About

Maintained by Miguel A. SorrelCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides a set of functions for conducting cognitive diagnostic computerized adaptive testing applications (Chen, 2009) DOI:10.1007/s11336-009-9123-2). It includes different item selection rules such us the global discrimination index (Kaplan, de la Torre, and Barrada (2015) DOI:10.1177/0146621614554650) and the nonparametric selection method (Chang, Chiu, and Tsai (2019) DOI:10.1177/0146621618813113), as well as several stopping rules. Functions for generating item banks and responses are also provided. To guide item bank calibration, model comparison at the item level can be conducted using the two-step likelihood ratio test statistic by Sorrel, de la Torre, Abad and Olea (2017) DOI:10.1027/1614-2241/a000131.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("cdcatR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

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

Development version from miguel-sorrel/cdcatR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-cdcatr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-cdcatR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-cdcatR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
