Generate parameters/thetas that conform to the MUPP model.

simulate_mupp_params(
  n_persons = 1,
  n_items = 1,
  n_dims = 2,
  max_item_dims = NULL,
  unidim_items = FALSE
)

Arguments

n_persons

integer indicating the number of persons

n_items

integer indicating the number of items

n_dims

integer > 2 indicating the total number of dimensions

max_item_dims

integer indicating the maximum dimensions on any item

unidim_items

boolian indicating whether an item can load on only a single dimension or must load on multiple dimensions

Value

a list with items/persons that conform to the MUPP model, as expected in package functions

Details

For the purposes of parameter generation, each item will be assumed to have between 2 and n_dims dimensions, where the number of dimensions for an item is randomly generated from a discrete uniform distribution.
