ata1.1.1 package

Provides a collection of psychometric methods to process item metadata and use target assessment and measurement blueprint constraints to assemble a test form. Currently two automatic test assembly (ata) approaches are enabled. For example, the weighted (positive) deviations method, wdm(), proposed by Swanson and Stocking (1993) <doi:10.1177/014662169301700205> was implemented in its full specification allowing for both item selection as well as test form refinement. The linear constraint programming approach, atalp(), uses the linear equation solver by Berkelaar et. al (2014) <http://lpsolve.sourceforge.net/5.5/> to enable a variety of approaches to select items.
