class.accuracy.rasch

Classification Accuracy in the Rasch Model

Description

This function computes the classification accuracy in the Rasch model for the maximum likelihood (person parameter) estimate according to the method of Rudner (2001).

Usage

class.accuracy.rasch(cutscores, b, meantheta, sdtheta, theta.l, n.sims=0)

Arguments

`cutscores`	Vector of cut scores
`b`	Vector of item difficulties
`meantheta`	Mean of the trait distribution
`sdtheta`	Standard deviation of the trait distribution
`theta.l`	Discretized theta distribution
`n.sims`	Number of simulated persons in a data set. The default is 0 which means that no simulation is performed.

Value

A list with following entries:

`class.stats`	Data frame containing classification accuracy statistics. The column `agree0` refers to absolute agreement, `agree1` to the agreement of at most a difference of one level.
`class.prob`	Probability table of classification
