Extract an item object from mirt objects

Extract the internal mirt objects from any estimated model.

Usage

extract.item(x, item, group = NULL, drop.zeros = FALSE)

Arguments

x

mirt model of class 'SingleGroupClass' or 'MultipleGroupClass'

item

a number or character signifying which item to extract

group

a number signifying which group the item should be extracted from (applies to 'MultipleGroupClass' only)

drop.zeros

logical; drop slope values that are numerically close to zero to reduce dimensionality? Useful in objects returned from bfactor or other confirmatory models that contain several zero slopes
