SL {MiscPsycho} | R Documentation |
This function estimates the A and B parameters (interept and slope) such that two tests with common items can be linked. Common items must be multiple choice items based on the 3-parameter logistic model.
SL(params1, params2, con = 0.001, ...)
params1 |
item parameters of the common items used for linking organized as a list of lists for test A. See irt.ability for more details. |
params2 |
item parameters of the common items used for linking organized as a list of lists for test B. See irt.ability for more details. |
con |
Criterion for convergence |
... |
a list of control parameters. These are actually passed from the function SLderivs ,
|
A list with two values for the linking constants
A |
The Stocking-Lord intercept |
B |
The Stocking-Lord slope |
