KernSmoothIRT

Nonparametric Item Response Theory

v6.4 · Feb 17, 2020 · GPL-2

Description

Fits nonparametric item and option characteristic curves using kernel smoothing. It allows for optimal selection of the smoothing bandwidth using cross-validation and a variety of exploratory plotting tools. The kernel smoothing is based on methods described in Silverman, B.W. (1986). Density Estimation for Statistics and Data Analysis. Chapman & Hall, London.
