  <dc:title>Unidimensional Item Response Theory Modeling</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package irtQ version 1.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Fit unidimensional item response theory (IRT) models to test
    data, which includes both dichotomous and polytomous items, calibrate 
    pretest item parameters, estimate examinees' abilities, and examine 
    the IRT model-data fit on item-level in different ways as well as provide 
    useful functions related to IRT analyses such as IRT model-data fit 
    evaluation and differential item functioning analysis. 
    The bring.flexmirt() and write.flexmirt() functions were written by modifying 
    the read.flexmirt() function (Pritikin &amp; Falk (2022) &lt;doi:10.1177/0146621620929431&gt;).
    The bring.bilog() and bring.parscale() functions were written by modifying the read.bilog() 
    and read.parscale() functions, respectively (Weeks (2010) &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v035.i12&gt;).
    The bisection() function was written by modifying the bisection() function 
    (Howard (2017, ISBN:9780367657918)). The code of the inverse test characteristic curve 
    scoring in the est_score() function was written by modifying the irt.eq.tse() function 
    (Gonzalez (2014) &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v059.i07&gt;). In est_score() function, the code of weighted 
    likelihood estimation method was written by referring to the Pi(), Ji(), and Ii() functions
    of the catR package (Magis &amp; Barrada (2017) &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v076.c01&gt;).</dc:description>
