This codebook is reconstructed by the IRW from the IRW data standard. It is our best reading, not the source’s own codebook, and it may contain mistakes. Where the two disagree, the source data are the authority. If you find an error, please tell us.
| Column | What it is | Source column |
|---|---|---|
| IRW standard columns | ||
id | IRW standard Identifier for the focal unit being measured — typically a person, but sometimes another entity (e.g., a word in a lexical task). | not traced |
item | IRW standard Item identifier. | not traced |
resp | IRW standard Response value. | not traced |
resp_raw | IRW standard The response as originally recorded, where resp holds a scored or recoded version of it — the letter a candidate marked (A–E), an option label, a categorical string. | not traced |
What item codes and covariate values stand for is in the codebook released with the source data.
Or load it directly in R or Python (both need a free Redivis account; the first call opens a browser to sign in):
# R
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("itemresponsewarehouse/Rpkg")
library(irw)
df <- irw_fetch("environment_ltm")
# Python
pip install irw
import irw
