plotINFO function

Plot Information For 'eRm' objects

Calculates and plots the individual item-category information (type='category'), item information (type='item') or test/scale information (i.e., summed item information, type='scale' or 'test') ) as defined by Samejima (1969) UTF-8

plotINFO(ermobject, type = "both", theta = seq(-6, 6, length.out = 1001L), 
legpos = "topright", ...)

Arguments

• ermobject: An object of class 'eRm'.
• type: A string denoting the type of information to be plotted. Currently supports "category", "item", "test", "scale" and "both" (which gives item and scale information; default).
• theta: Supporting or sampling points on the latent trait.
• legpos: Defines the positioning of the legend, as in plotICC.
• ...: Further arguments. xlab sets the label of the $x$ axis. ylabI and ylabT control the labeling of the item or test information plot. mainI and mainT set the titles for item/test information plots.
