--- title: "Psychometric Process-Data Models" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Psychometric Process-Data Models} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>", eval = FALSE) ``` The package prepares linked person-item-trial data and delegates mature IRT estimation to optional engines where appropriate. ## Response and response-time matrices ```{r} y <- response_matrix(x) rt <- response_time_matrix(x, log_transform = TRUE) aligned <- align_response_matrices(y, rt) ``` ## Conventional and explanatory IRT ```{r} fit_mirt <- fit_irt(x, engine = "mirt", model = 1, itemtype = "2PL") fit_tam <- fit_irt(x, engine = "TAM") fit_explanatory <- fit_explanatory_irt( x, score ~ dwell_time + first_fixation_latency + pupil_auc, engine = "lme4" ) ``` ## Accuracy and response time ```{r} fit_rt <- fit_accuracy_rt(x, engine = "LNIRT") ``` `LNIRT` receives aligned response matrices and log response times. A two-stage fallback is available for transparent exploratory work, but it is not treated as equivalent to a joint latent model. ## Process-informed and experimental models ```{r} spec <- process_irt_spec( response = "score", gaze_features = c("dwell_time", "first_fixation_latency"), pupil_features = c("pupil_auc"), response_time = "response_time" ) fit <- fit_process_irt(x, spec, engine = "lme4") process_irt_diagnostics(fit) shared <- fit_shared_process_factor( x, features = c("dwell_time", "fixation_count", "pupil_auc") ) ``` Shared process factors are intentionally neutral labels until construct validity is established. Advanced joint and dynamic functions are marked experimental and require simulation, parameter-recovery, and empirical validation before confirmatory use.
