mirt: Multidimensional item response theory in R 
Analysis of dichotomous and polytomous response data using unidimensional and multidimensional latent trait models under the Item Response Theory paradigm. Exploratory and confirmatory models can be estimated with quadrature (EM) or stochastic (MHRM) methods. Confirmatory bi-factor and two-tier analyses are available for modeling item testlets. Multiple group analysis and mixed effects designs also are available for detecting differential item functioning and modeling item and person covariates.
Examples and evaluated help files are available on the wiki
Various examples and worked help files have been compiled using the knitr package to generate
HTML output, and are available on the package wiki.
User contributions are welcome!
Installing from source
It's recommended to use the development version of this package since it is more likely to be up to date than the version on CRAN. To install this package from source:
1) Obtain recent gcc, g++, and gfortran compilers. Windows users can install the
Rtools suite while Mac users will have to
download the necessary tools from the Xcode suite and its
related command line tools (found within Xcode's Preference Pane under Downloads/Components); most Linux
distributions should already have up to date compilers (or if not they can be updated easily).
Windows users should include the checkbox option of installing Rtools to their path for
easier command line usage.
2) Install the devtools package (if necessary). In R, paste the following into the console:
r
install.packages('devtools')
3) Load the devtools package (requires version 1.4+) and install from the Github source code.
r
library('devtools')
install_github('philchalmers/mirt')
Installing from source via git
If the devtools approach does not work on your system, then you can download and install the
repository directly.
1) Obtain recent gcc, g++, and gfortran compilers (see above instructions).
2) Install the git command line tools.
3) Open a terminal/command-line tool. The following code will download the repository code to your computer, and install the package directly using R tools (Windows users may also have to add R and git to their path)
git clone https://github.com/philchalmers/mirt
R CMD INSTALL mirt
Special Mac OS X Installation Instructions
In some reported cases XCode does not install the appropriate gfortran compilers in the correct location, therefore they have to be installed manually instead. This is accomplished by inputing the following instructions into the terminal:
curl -O http://r.research.att.com/libs/gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2
sudo tar fvxz gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2 -C /

Bugs and Questions
Bug reports are always welcome and the preferred way to address these bugs is through the Github 'issues'. Feel free to submit issues or feature requests on the site, and I'll address them ASAP. Also, if you have any questions about the package, or IRT in general, then feel free to create a 'New Topic' in the mirt-package Google group. Cheers!
