Abstract:
The R package irtplay provides practical tools for unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models that conveniently enable users to conduct many analyses related to IRT. For example, the irtplay includes functions for calibrating online items, scoring test-takers' proficiencies, evaluating IRT model-data fit, and importing item and/or proficiency parameter estimates from the output of popular IRT software. In addition, the irtplay package supports mixed-item formats consisting of dichotomous and polytomous items.
