The Item Response Warehouse is a new data resource for psychometricians interested in developing methods using bigger and more diverse sets of instruments: itemresponsewarehouse.org

New paper out now at BRM: doi.org/10.3758/s134...

Publication describing the IRW now out! link.springer.com/article/10.3...
Over 1000 datasets in there with tools for pulling directly from R!

🔥Coming July 2: 'Metrics and Models'!🔥

A new seminar series on advanced modelling w/ impact across health/society.

🌍 Open to *ALL*!

Analysis of treatment effects on psychological networks using data from the IRW: "Our results show that causal effects on network strength are both common and uncorrelated with effects on network state." New work from @jbgilbert.bsky.social

As the IRW approaches 1000 tables, there is an obvious need for better approaches when querying appropriate tables. We've added more metadata (including human annotation) and improved R-based functionality for doing just that! itemresponsewarehouse.org/metadata.html

Simulation studies are common in psychometrics. We are trying to make them more relevant to practice by increasing their connection to empirical data. Feedback welcome!

For those with psychometric interests: spread the word about this talk on network psychometrics from one of the leaders in that field this coming Wednesday. Details here: ssps.su.domains

We're working to make code available to make these kinds of analyses easy for others to do. For the item-level HTE work, see here: github.com/ben-domingue...

1/ What might data-rich #psychometrics research look like? As a first example, consider @jbgilbert.bsky.social on heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE). Josh uses #irt to examine item-level HTE, with insights drawn from 75 datasets across 48 randomized trials (arxiv.org/abs/2405.00161).

Do you need educational and psychological item response data to do your research? The IRW has 600 item response datasets (more coming!), distributed in a standardized format and ready for analysis.
