lnirt_sim

20,000 simulated responses from 1,000 respondents to 20 items.

Simulated data. These responses were generated by a script, not collected from people; see the generating script. The cov_true_speed, cov_true_theta columns hold the true generating values, which a real dataset would not have.

About this table

DescriptionSimulated joint response accuracy and response time (van der Linden hierarchical framework): 1,000 persons x 20 items, normal-ogive accuracy and lognormal times; true ability and speed in cov_true_*, true item accuracy and time parameters in itemcov_true_*.
