Examples

Data <- c(1)
Data <- matrix(Data,nrow = 1)
pairmap <- c(1,2)
pairmap <- matrix(pairmap,nrow = 1)
ind <- c(1,2)
ParInits <- c(1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1)
ParInits <- matrix(ParInits, ncol = 3)
mod <- fcirt(fcirt.Data=Data,pairmap=pairmap,ind=ind,ParInits=ParInits,iter=3,warmup=1,chains=1)
information(mod, approach="direct", theta="quadrature", information="item", items=1)
