Analysis of discrete response data using
    unidimensional and multidimensional item analysis models under the Item
    Response Theory paradigm (Chalmers (2012) <doi:10.18637/jss.v048.i06>). 
    Exploratory and confirmatory item factor analysis models
	are estimated with quadrature (EM) or stochastic (MHRM) methods. Confirmatory
    bi-factor and two-tier models are available for modeling item testlets using
	dimension reduction EM algorithms, while multiple group analyses and 
	mixed effects designs are included for detecting differential item, bundle, 
	and test functioning, and for modeling item and person covariates. 
	Finally, latent class models such as the DINA, DINO, multidimensional latent class, 
	mixture IRT models, and zero-inflated response models are supported, as well 
	as a wide family of probabilistic unfolding models.
