Multiple Group Estimation
Description
multipleGroup performs a full-information
maximum-likelihood multiple group analysis for any combination of dichotomous and polytomous
data under the item response theory paradigm using either Cai's (2010)
Metropolis-Hastings Robbins-Monro (MHRM) algorithm or with an EM algorithm approach. This
function may be used for detecting differential item functioning (DIF), thought the
DIF function may provide a more convenient approach. If the grouping
variable is not specified then the dentype input can be modified to fit
mixture models to estimate any latent group components.
Usage
multipleGroup(
data,
model = 1,
group,
itemtype = NULL,
invariance = "",
method = "EM",
dentype = "Gaussian",
...
)
Arguments
data |
a |
model |
string to be passed to, or a model object returned from, |
group |
a |
itemtype |
can be same type of input as is documented in |
invariance |
a character vector containing the following possible options:
Additionally, specifying specific item name bundles (from |
method |
a character object that is either |
dentype |
type of density form to use for the latent trait parameters. Current options include
all of the methods described in
|
... |
additional arguments to be passed to the estimation engine. See |
Details
By default the estimation in multipleGroup assumes that the models are maximally
independent, and therefore could initially be performed by sub-setting the data and running
identical models with mirt and aggregating the results (e.g., log-likelihood).
However, constrains may be automatically imposed across groups by invoking various
invariance keywords. Users may also supply a list of parameter equality constraints
to by constrain argument, of define equality constraints using the
mirt.model syntax (recommended).
Value
function returns an object of class MultipleGroupClass
(MultipleGroupClass-class).
