R Code and Packages

The R-Package GLMMRR. This package gives support to Generalized Linear Mixed Modeling (GLMM) for Binary Randomized Response Data. It extends the modeling possibilities of lme4, by including different link functions to deal with randomized response data. This includes Cauchit, Compl. Log-Log, Logistic, and Probit link functions for Bernoulli distributed RR data. RR Designs: Warner, Forced Response, Unrelated Question, Kuk, Crosswise, and Triangular. The package is listed on CRAN: GLMMRR.
See also our publication on arXiv (2021): R-package GLMMRR.

The R package LNIRT. This is the package for log-normal response time IRT modeling for responses and response times. It is listed on CRAN: LNIRT . It allows the simultaneous analysis of responses and response times in an Item Response Theory (IRT) modelling framework. Parameter estimation is done with a MCMC algorithm. An RMarkdown document has been written to further support the use of the R-package (LNIRT RMarkdown).
See also our publication on arXiv (2021): R-package LNIRT .

LNIRT replaces the package CIRT (written by Rinke Klein Entink). For reference, see the paper by Fox, Klein Entink and Van der Linden (2007), “Modeling of Responses and Response Times with the Package cirt”, Journal of Statistical Software, link.

The R package MLIRT (Version R 2.15.0) contains methods related to Bayesian Item Respons Modeling. The package is build under R-2.15.0. The package can also handle randomized response data. There is a 32 bits version, compiled under i386 architecture (including a win32 Fortan dll), and a 64 bits , compiled under Intel 64 architecture (including a x64 Fortan dll). It was not possible to construct one package for both architectures.

The mlirt R-package is not listed on CRAN.

The R package CIRT for R-3.0.0 is meant for the joint analysis of response data and response times on (educational) tests. There is a 32 bits version, compiled under i386 architecture (including a win32 Fortan dll), and a 64bits, compiled under Intel 64 architecture (including a x64 Fortan dll).

The R package MIXIS 1.0 contains methods related to Bayesian joint mixture modeling of survival and explanatory item response data using IRT. The package is build under R-2.13.0.
