IrtRuby is a comprehensive Ruby library for Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis,#{" "}
14+
commonly used in educational assessment, psychological testing, and survey research.
15+
16+
Features three core IRT models:
17+
• Rasch Model (1PL) - Simple difficulty-only model
18+
• Two-Parameter Model (2PL) - Adds item discrimination
19+
• Three-Parameter Model (3PL) - Includes guessing parameter
20+
21+
Key capabilities:
22+
• Robust gradient ascent optimization with adaptive learning rates
23+
• Flexible missing data strategies (ignore, treat as incorrect/correct)
24+
• Comprehensive performance benchmarking suite
25+
• Memory-efficient implementation with excellent scaling
26+
• Production-ready with extensive test coverage
27+
28+
Perfect for researchers, data scientists, and developers working with#{" "}
29+
educational assessments, psychological measurements, or any binary response data
30+
where item and person parameters need to be estimated simultaneously.
