Overview

About

Maintained by Ahmet ÇalışkanCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

A 'Shiny'-based toolkit for item/test analysis. It is designed for multiple-choice, true-false, and open-ended questions. The toolkit is usable with datasets in 1-0 or other formats. Key analyses include difficulty, discrimination, response-option analysis, and reports. The classical test theory methods used are described in Ebel and Frisbie (1991, ISBN:978-0132892314).

Changes in 0.3

Updated the Shiny interface with modern cards, clearer tables, and scrollable panels.
Redesigned item type selection into a card-based layout.
Added optional item learning outcomes and displayed them in the most missed items ranking.
Kept student-level weak item output focused on item names for readability.
Added corrected item-total discrimination labeling, KR-20 display for all multiple-choice/binary forms, and total-score skewness/kurtosis to the summary.
Added optional school and class fields to the upload screen and included them in Word reports.
Moved package, developer, version update, and citation information into a dedicated About button next to Reports.

Install

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

install.packages("examly", 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("ahmetcaliskan1987/examly")

Development version from ahmetcaliskan1987/examly. 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-examly

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-examly

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-examly

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.
