Computes the amount of test information for a fitted IRT model, in a specified range.
information(object, range, items = NULL, ...)
object |
an object inheriting from either class grm, class ltm or class rasch. |
range |
a numeric interval for which the test information should be computed. |
items |
the items for which the information should be computed; the default NULL corresponds
to all the items, which is equivalent to the test information. |
... |
extra arguments passed to integrate(). |
The amount of information is computed as the area under the Item or Test Information Curve in the specified
interval, using integrate().
A list with components,
Info in range |
the amount of information in the specified interval. |
Total Info |
