irtQ

The goal of irtQ is to fit unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models to mixture of dichotomous and polytomous data, calibrate online item parameters (i.e., pretest and operational items), estimate examinees abilities, and examine the IRT model-data fit on item-level in different ways as well as provide useful functions related to IRT analyses.

For the item parameter estimation, the marginal maximum likelihood estimation with expectation-maximization (MMLE-EM) algorithm (Bock & Aitkin, 1981) is used. For the online calibration, the fixed item parameter calibration (FIPC) method (e.g., Kim, 2006) and the fixed ability parameter calibration (FAPC) method (Ban, Hanson, Wang, Yi, & Harris, 2001; stocking, 1988), often called Stocking’s Method A, are provided. For the ability estimation, several popular scoring methods (e.g., MLE, EAP, and MAP) are implemented. In terms of assessing the IRT model-data fit, one of distinguished features of this package is that it gives not only item fit statistics (e.g., chi-square fit statistic (X2; e.g., Bock, 1960; Yen, 1981), likelihood ratio chi-square fit statistic (G2; McKinley & Mills, 1985), infit and outfit statistics (Ames et al., 2015), and S-X2 (Orlando & Thissen, 2000, 2003)) but also graphical displays to look at residuals between the observed data and model-based predictions (Hambleton, Swaminathan, & Rogers, 1991).

In addition, there are many useful functions such as analyzing differential item functioning (DIF), computing asymptotic variance-covariance matrices of item parameter estimates, importing item and/or ability parameters from popular IRT software, running flexMIRT (Cai, 2017) through R, generating simulated data, computing the conditional distribution of observed scores using the Lord-Wingersky recursion formula, computing item and test information functions, computing item and test characteristic curve functions, and plotting item and test characteristic curves and item and test information functions.

1. Online item calibration with the fixed item parameter calibration (FIPC) method (e.g., Kim, 2006)

The fixed item parameter calibration (FIPC) is one of useful online item calibration methods for computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to put the parameter estimates of pretest items on the same scale of operational item parameter estimates without post hoc linking/scaling (Ban, Hanson, Wang, Yi, & Harris, 2001; Chen & Wang, 2016). In FIPC, the operational item parameters are fixed to estimate the characteristic of the underlying latent variable prior distribution when calibrating the pretest items. More specifically, the underlying latent variable prior distribution of the operational items is estimated during the calibration of the pretest items to put the item parameters of the pretest items on the scale of the operational item parameters (Kim, 2006). In irtQ package, FIPC is implemented with two main steps:

  1. Prepare a response data set and the item metadata of the fixed (or operational) items.
  2. Implement FIPC to estimate the item parameters of pretest items using the est_irt() function.

(1) Preparing a data set

To run the est_irt() function, it requires two data sets:

  1. Item metadata set (i.e., model, score category, and item parameters. see the desciption of the argument x in the function est_irt).
  2. Examinees’ response data set for the items. It should be a matrix format where a row and column indicate the examinees and the items, respectively. The order of the columns in the response data set must be exactly the same as the order of rows of the item metadata.

(2) Estimating the pretest item parameters

When FIPC is implemented in est_irt() function, the pretest item parameters are estimated by fixing the operational item parameters. To estimate the item parameters, you need to provide the item metadata in the argument x and the response data in the argument data.

It is worthwhile to explain about how to prepare the item metadata set in the argument x. A specific form of a data frame should be used for the argument x. The first column should have item IDs, the second column should contain the number of score categories of the items, and the third column should include IRT models. The available IRT models are “1PLM”, “2PLM”, “3PLM”, and “DRM” for dichotomous items, and “GRM” and “GPCM” for polytomous items. Note that “DRM” covers all dichotomous IRT models (i.e, “1PLM”, “2PLM”, and “3PLM”) and “GRM” and “GPCM” represent the graded response model and (generalized) partial credit model, respectively. From the fourth column, item parameters should be included. For dichotomous items, the fourth, fifth, and sixth columns represent the item discrimination (or slope), item difficulty, and item guessing parameters, respectively. When “1PLM” or “2PLM” is specified for any items in the third column, NAs should be inserted for the item guessing parameters. For polytomous items, the item discrimination (or slope) parameters should be contained in the fourth column and the item threshold (or step) parameters should be included from the fifth to the last columns. When the number of categories differs between items, the empty cells of item parameters should be filled with NAs. See est_irt for more details about the item metadata.

Also, you should specify in the argument fipc = TRUE and a specific FIPC method in the argument fipc.method. Finally, you should provide a vector of the location of the items to be fixed in the argument fix.loc. For more details about implementing FIPC, see the description of the est_irt() function.

When implementing FIPC, you can estimate both the emprical histogram and the scale of latent variable prior distribution by setting EmpHist = TRUE. If EmpHist = FALSE, the normal prior distribution is used during the item parameter estimation and the scale of the normal prior distribution is updated during the EM cycle.

If necessary, you need to specify whether prior distributions of item slope and guessing parameters (only for the IRT 3PL model) are used in the arguments of use.aprior and use.gprior, respectively. If you decide to use the prior distributions, you should specify what distributions will be used for the prior distributions in the arguments of aprior and gprior, respectively. Currently three probability distributions of Beta, Log-normal, and Normal distributions are available.

In addition, if the response data include missing values, you must indicate the missing value in argument missing.

Once the est_irt() function has been implemented, you’ll get a list of several internal objects such as the item parameter estimates, standard error of the parameter estimates.

2. Online item calibration with the fixed ability parameter calibration method (e.g., Stocking, 1988)

In CAT, the fixed ability parameter calibration (FAPC), often called Stocking’s Method A, is the relatively simplest and most straightforward online calibration method, which is the maximum likelihood estimation of the item parameters given the proficiency estimates. In CAT, FAPC can be used to put the parameter estimates of pretest items on the same scale of operational item parameter estimates and recalibrate the operational items to evaluate the parameter drifts of the operational items (Chen & Wang, 2016; Stocking, 1988). Also, FAPC is known to result in accurate, unbiased item parameters calibration when items are randomly rather than adaptively administered to examinees, which occurs most commonly with pretest items (Ban et al., 2001; Chen & Wang, 2016). Using irtQ package, the FAPC is implemented to calibrate the items with two main steps:

  1. Prepare a data set for the calibration of item parameters (i.e., item response data and ability estimates).
  2. Implement the FAPC to estimate the item parameters using the est_item() function.

(1) Preparing a data set

To run the est_item() function, it requires two data sets:

  1. Examinees’ ability (or proficiency) estimates. It should be in the format of a numeric vector.
  2. Examinees’ response data set for the items. It should be in the format of matrix where a row and column indicate the examinees and the items, respectively. The order of the examinees in the response data set must be exactly the same as that of the examinees’ ability estimates.

(2) Estimating the pretest item parameters

The est_item() function estimates the pretest item parameters given the proficiency estimates. To estimate the item parameters, you need to provide the response data in the argument data and the ability estimates in the argument score.

Also, you should provide a string vector of the IRT models in the argument model to indicate what IRT model is used to calibrate each item. Available IRT models are “1PLM”, “2PLM”, “3PLM”, and “DRM” for dichotomous items, and “GRM” and “GPCM” for polytomous items. “GRM” and “GPCM” represent the graded response model and (generalized) partial credit model, respectively. Note that “DRM” is considered as “3PLM” in this function. If a single character of the IRT model is specified, that model will be recycled across all items.

The est_item() function requires a vector of the number of score categories for the items in the argument cats. For example, a dichotomous item has two score categories. If a single numeric value is specified, that value will be recycled across all items. If NULL and all items are binary items (i.e., dichotomous items), it assumes that all items have two score categories.

If necessary, you need to specify whether prior distributions of item slope and guessing parameters (only for the IRT 3PL model) are used in the arguments of use.aprior and use.gprior, respectively. If you decide to use the prior distributions, you should specify what distributions will be used for the prior distributions in the arguments of aprior and gprior, respectively. Currently three probability distributions of Beta, Log-normal, and Normal distributions are available.

In addition, if the response data include missing values, you must indicate the missing value in argument missing.

Once the est_item function has been implemented, you’ll get a list of several internal objects such as the item parameter estimates, standard error of the parameter estimates.

3. The process of evaluating the IRT model-data fit

One way to assess goodness of IRT model-data fit is through an item fit analysis by examining the traditional item fit statistics and looking at the discrepancy between the observed data and model-based predictions. Using irtQ package, the traditional approach of evaluating the IRT model-data fit on item-level can be implemented with three main steps:

  1. Prepare a data set for the IRT item fit analysis (i.e., item metadata, ability estimates, and response data).
  2. Obtain the IRT fit statistics such as the X2, G2, infit, and outfit statistics using the irtfit() function.
  3. Based on the results of IRT model fit analysis (i.e., an object of class irtfit) obtained in step 2, draw the IRT residual plots (i.e., raw residual and standardized residual plots) using plot method.

(1) Preparing a data set

Before conducting the IRT model fit analysis, it is necessary to prepare a data set. To run the irtfit() function, it requires three data sets:

  1. Item metadata including the item ID, number of score categories, IRT models, and item parameters. The item metadata should be in the format of data frame. You can prepare the data either by using the shape_df() function or by creating a data frame of the item metadata by yourself. If you have output files of item parameter estimates obtained from one of the IRT software such as BILOG-MG 3, PARSCALE 4, flexMIRT, and mirt (R package), the item metadata can be easily obtained using the functions of bring.bilog(), bring.parscale(), bring.flexmirt(), bring.mirt(). See the functions of irtfit(), test.info(), or simdat() for more details about the item metadata format.
  2. Examinees’ ability (or proficiency) estimates. It should be in the format of a numeric vector.
  3. Examinees’ response data set for the items. It should be in the format of matrix where a row and column indicate the examinees and the items, respectively. The order of the examinees in the response data set must be exactly the same as that of the examinees’ ability estimates. The order of the items in the response data set must be exactly the same as that of the items in the item metadata.

(2) Computing the IRT model-data fit statistics

The irtfit() function computes the traditional IRT item fit statistics such as X2, G2, infit, and outfit statistics. To calculate the X2 and G2 statistics, two methods are available to divide the ability scale into several groups. The two methods are “equal.width” for dividing the scale by an equal length of the interval and “equal.freq” for dividing the scale by an equal frequency of examinees. Also, you need to specify the location of ability point at each group (or interval) where the expected probabilities of score categories are calculated from the IRT models. Available locations are “average” for computing the expected probability at the average point of examinees’ ability estimates in each group and “middle” for computing the expected probability at the midpoint of each group.

To use the irtfit() function, you need to insert the item metadata in the argument x, the ability estimates in the argument score, and the response data in the argument data. If you want to divide the ability scale into other than ten groups, you need to specify the number of groups in the argument n.width. In addition, if the response data include missing values, you must indicate the missing value in argument missing.

Once the irtfit() function has been implemented, you’ll get the fit statistic results and the contingency tables for every item used to calculate the X2 and G2 fit statistics.

(3) Drawing the IRT residual plots

Using the saved object of class irtfit, you can use the plot method to evaluate the IRT raw residual and standardized residual plots.

Because the plot method can draw the residual plots for an item at a time, you have to indicate which item will be examined. For this, you can specify an integer value, which is the location of the studied item, in the argument item.loc.

In terms of the raw residual plot, the argument ci.method is used to select a method to estimate the confidence intervals among four methods. Those methods are “wald” for the Wald interval, which is based on the normal approximation (Laplace, 1812), “cp” for Clopper-Pearson interval (Clopper & Pearson, 1934), “wilson” for Wilson score interval (Wilson, 1927), and “wilson.cr” for Wilson score interval with continuity correction (Newcombe, 1998).

# 2. The example code below shows how to prepare
# the data sets and how to estimate the item
# parameters using the FAPC:
##----------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Step 1: prepare a data set In this example, we
## generated examinees' true proficiency
## parameters and simulated the item response
## data using the function 'simdat'. Because the
## true proficiency parameters are not known in
## reality, the true proficiencies would be
## replaced with the proficiency estimates for
## the calibration.

# import the '-prm.txt' output file from flexMIRT
flex_sam <- system.file("extdata", "flexmirt_sample-prm.txt",
  package = "irtQ")

# select the item metadata
x <- bring.flexmirt(file = flex_sam, "par")$Group1$full_df

# modify the item metadata so that some items
# follow 1PLM, 2PLM and GPCM
x[c(1:3, 5), 3] <- "1PLM"
x[c(1:3, 5), 4] <- 1
x[c(1:3, 5), 6] <- 0
x[c(4, 8:12), 3] <- "2PLM"
x[c(4, 8:12), 6] <- 0
x[54:55, 3] <- "GPCM"

# generate examinees' abilities from N(0, 1)
set.seed(23)
score <- rnorm(500, mean = 0, sd = 1)

# simulate the response data
data <- simdat(x = x, theta = score, D = 1)

## Step 2: Estimate the item parameters 1) item
## parameter estimation: constrain the slope
## parameters of the 1PLM to be equal
(mod1 <- est_item(x, data, score, D = 1, fix.a.1pl = FALSE,
  use.gprior = TRUE, gprior = list(dist = "beta",
    params = c(5, 17)), use.startval = FALSE))
