=====

`中文 <./README_ZH.rst>`_

psychometrics package, including structural equation model, confirmatory

factor analysis, unidimensional item response theory, multidimensional

item response theory, cognitive diagnosis model, factor analysis and

adaptive testing. The package is still a doll. will be finished in

future.

unidimensional item response theory

-----------------------------------

models

~~~~~~

-  binary response data IRT (two parameters, three parameters).

-  grade respone data IRT (GRM model)

Parameter estimation algorithm

------------------------------

-  EM algorithm (2PL, GRM)

-  MCMC algorithm (3PL）

--------------

Multidimensional item response theory (full information item factor analysis)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parameter estimation algorithm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The initial value

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The approximate polychoric correlation is calculated, and the slope

initial value is obtained by factor analysis of the polychoric

correlation matrix.

EM algorithm

^^^^^^^^^^^^

-  E step uses GH integral.

-  M step uses Newton algorithm (sparse matrix is divided into non

   sparse matrix).

Factor rotation

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gradient projection algorithm

The shortcomings

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GH integrals can only estimate low dimensional parameters.

--------------

Cognitive diagnosis model

-------------------------

models

~~~~~~

-  Dina

-  ho-dina

parameter estimation algorithms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  EM algorithm

-  MCMC algorithm

-  maximum likelihood estimation (only for estimating skill parameters

   of subjects)

--------------

Structural equation model

-------------------------

-  contains three parameter estimation methods(ULS, ML and GLS).

-  based on gradient descent

--------------

Confirmatory factor analysis

----------------------------

-  can be used for continuous data, binary data and ordered data.

-  based on gradient descent

-  binary and ordered data based on Polychoric correlation matrix.

--------------

Factor analysis

---------------

For the time being, only for the calculation of full information item

factor analysis, it is very simple.

The algorithm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

principal component analysis

The rotation algorithm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

gradient projection

--------------

Adaptive test

-------------

model

~~~~~

Thurston IRT model (multidimensional item response theory model for

personality test)

Algorithm

~~~~~~~~~

Maximum information method for multidimensional item response theory

--------------

Require

-------

-  numpy

-  progressbar2

--------------

How to use it

-------------

install

~~~~~~~

::

    pip install psy

See demo
