The goal of rrum is to provide an implementation of Gibbs sampling
algorithm for Bayesian Estimation of Reduced Reparameterized Unified
Model (rrum), described by Culpepper and Hudson (2017) <doi:
10.1177/0146621617707511>.
Installation
You can install rrum from CRAN using:
install.packages("rrum")Or, you can be on the cutting-edge development version on GitHub using:
# install.packages('remotes') remotes::install_github("tmsalab/rrum")
Usage
To use rrum, load the package using:
library("rrum")From here, the rRUM model can be estimated using:
rrum_model = rrum(<data>, <q>)
Additional parameters can be accessed with:
rrum_model = rrum(<data>, <q>, chain_length = 10000L, as = 1, bs = 1, ag = 1, bg = 1, delta0 = rep(1, 2^ncol(Q)))
rRUM item data can be simulated using:
# Set a seed for reproducibility set.seed(888) # Setup Parameters N = 15 # Number of Examinees / Subjects J = 10 # Number of Items K = 2 # Number of Skills / Attributes # Simulate identifiable Q matrix Q = sim_q_matrix(J, K) # Penalties for failing to have each of the required attributes rstar = .5 * Q # The probabilities of answering each item correctly for individuals # who do not lack any required attribute pistar = rep(.9, J) # Latent Class Probabilities pis = c(.1, .2, .3, .4) # Generate latent attribute profile with custom probability (N subjects by K skills) subject_alphas = sim_subject_attributes(N, K, prob = pis) # Simulate rrum items rrum_items = simcdm::sim_rrum_items(Q, rstar, pistar, subject_alphas)
