Automating Simulation Research for Item Response Theory using R

Öz:
A simulation study is a useful tool in examining how validly itemresponse theory (IRT) models can be applied in various settings. Typically,a large number of replications are required to obtain the desired precision.However, many standard software packages in IRT, such as MULTILOGand BILOG, are not well suited for a simulation study requiring a largenumber of replications because they were developed as a stand-alonesoftware package that is best suited for a single run. This articledemonstrated how built-in R functions can be used to automate thesimulation study using the stand-alone software packages in IRT. For ademonstration purpose, MULTILOG was used in the example codes in theappendices, but the overall framework of a simulation study and the builtin R functions used in this article can be applied for a simulation study usingother stand-alone software packages as well.
