Overview

About

Maintained by Alexander RobitzschCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Supplementary functions for item response models aiming to complement existing R packages. The functionality includes among others multidimensional compensatory and noncompensatory IRT models (Reckase, 2009, doi:10.1007/978-0-387-89976-3), MCMC for hierarchical IRT models and testlet models (Fox, 2010, doi:10.1007/978-1-4419-0742-4), NOHARM (McDonald, 1982, doi:10.1177/014662168200600402), Rasch copula model (Braeken, 2011, doi:10.1007/s11336-010-9190-4; Schroeders, Robitzsch & Schipolowski, 2014, doi:10.1111/jedm.12054), faceted and hierarchical rater models (DeCarlo, Kim & Johnson, 2011, doi:10.1111/j.1745-3984.2011.00143.x), ordinal IRT model (ISOP; Scheiblechner, 1995, doi:10.1007/BF02301417), DETECT statistic (Stout, Habing, Douglas & Kim, 1996, doi:10.1177/014662169602000403), local structural equation modeling (LSEM; Hildebrandt, Luedtke, Robitzsch, Sommer & Wilhelm, 2016, doi:10.1080/00273171.2016.1142856).

Install

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

install.packages("sirt", 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("alexanderrobitzsch/sirt")

Development version from alexanderrobitzsch/sirt. 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-sirt

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-sirt

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-sirt

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.
