A data frame with administrative information per item with difficulty estimates (tau) from the Rasch model. The item bank provides the basic information to calculate D-scores. The items in the item bank are a subset of all items as collected in builtin_itemtable.

builtin_itembank

Format

A data.frame with variables:

NameLabel
keyString indicating a specific Rasch model
itemItem name, gsed lexicon
tauDifficulty estimate
labelLabel (English)
instrumentInstrument code
domainDomain code
modeAdministration mode
numberItem number

Details

The difficulty estimates were estimated by a Rasch model. The key indicates the specific Rasch model used to estimate the difficulty. Strictly speaking, one can only compare D-score calculated from the same key.

Note

Updates:

  • Dec 01, 2022 - Overwrite labels of gto by correct item order.

  • Dec 05, 2022 - Adds key gsed2212, adding instruments gl1 and gs1, and defining correct order for gto

  • Jan 05, 2023 - Adds instrument gh1 to key gsed2212
