Groups examinees by their ability estimate and compares the observed mean item score in each group (with 95% intervals) with the model-implied curve. Large departures point to misfit.

Usage

gg_empirical(x, item, bins = 10, theta_lim = c(-3, 3))

Arguments

x

a unidimensional model returned by mirt::mirt().

item

a single item, by position or name.

bins

number of ability groups.

theta_lim

range of the latent trait.

Value

A ggplot object.

Examples

mod <- mirt(expand.table(LSAT7), 1, verbose = FALSE)
gg_empirical(mod, 1)
