IRT estimation with R packages mirt and lavaan

 February 28, 2022 |  Jonathan |  Uncategorized

This is a brief how-to for estimating IRT models in the R packages mirt and lavaan. The example is based on a handout originally created by Lesa Hoffman but modified for my version of a course we have developed over the years. This version uses a resampled version of the original data set so as to enable my ability to post it here.
