Package plink updated to version 1.1-6 with previous version 1.1-5 dated 2009-07-26

Author: Jonathan P. Weeks
Title: IRT Separate Calibration Linking Methods
Description: This package uses item response theory methods to compute linking constants and conduct chain linking of unidimensional or multidimensional tests for multiple groups under a common item design. The unidimensional methods include the Mean/Mean, Mean/Sigma, Haebara, and Stocking-Lord methods for dichotomous (1PL, 2PL and 3PL) and/or polytomous (graded response, partial credit/generalized partial credit, nominal, and multiple-choice model) items. The multidimensional methods include the Reckase-Martineau method and extensions of the Haebara and Stocking-Lord method using a single dilation parameter, multiple dilation parameters, or the Oshima, Davey, & Lee approach for multidimensional extensions of all the unidimensional dichotomous and polytomous item response models. The package also includes functions for importing item and/or ability parameters from common IRT software and ploting item characteristic/category curves or surfaces, vector plots, and comparison plots for examining parameter drift.
