Item Response Theory (IRT) is an extension of the Classical Test Theory (CCT) and focuses on how specific test items function in assessing a construct. They are widely known in psychology, medicine, and marketing, as well as in social sciences. An item response model specifies a relationship between the observable examinee test performance and the unobservable traits or abilities assumed to underlie performance on the test. Within the broad framework of item response theory, many models can be operationalized because of the large number of choices available for the mathematical form of the item characteristic curves. In this paper we introduce several types of IRT models such as: the Rasch, and the Birnbaum model. We present the main assumptions for IRT analysis, estimation method, properties, and model selection methods. In this paper we present the application of IRT analysis for binary data with the use of the ltm package in R.(original abstract)

Modele teorii odpowiedzi na pozycje testowe (modele IRT) są szczególnym rozszerzeniem klasycznej teorii testu (CCT). Modele te z powodzeniem wykorzystywane są w psychologii, medycynie, marketingu, a także w naukach społecznych. Modele teorii odpowiedzi na pozycje testowe opisują relację między obserwowalnymi cechami respondenta a nieobserwowalnymi zmiennymi lub zdolnościami poszczególnych osób odpowiadających na pytania. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano podstawowe modele IRT dla zmiennych niemetrycznych, m.in. model Rascha oraz Birnbauma. Przedstawiono również założenia, metodę estymacji, własności oraz procedury selekcji modeli. W niniejszym artykule wykorzystano program R oraz pakiet ltm, pozwalający na przeprowadzenie pełnej analizy opartej na modelach teorii odpowiedzi na pozycje testowe.(abstrakt oryginalny)
