What is Item Response Theory (IRT)?

Item Response Theory (IRT) is a statistical framework for understanding how individuals respond to items on a test or questionnaire. It provides a powerful method to measure latent traits, such as ability, personality, or attitudes, from observed responses. Unlike classical test theory, IRT considers the characteristics of both individuals (their ability) and items (their difficulty) to provide more accurate and reliable measurement.

Why Use IRT with Stata?

Stata is a widely used statistical software package that provides robust capabilities for IRT modeling. This course leverages Stata's strengths to simplify IRT analysis, making it accessible to researchers of all levels. You'll learn to:

Fit a variety of IRT models, including the Rasch model, 2PL, and 3PL models.
Estimate item parameters, including item difficulty, discrimination, and guessing parameters.
Assess model fit and identify potential measurement issues.
Calculate individual ability estimates and their precision.
Generate item response curves and evaluate item bias.
