Simulations of Computerized Adaptive Tests

In this chapter, we describe the R package catR that contains most CAT options and routines currently developed. Its general architecture is presented and most important R functions are explained and illustrated. Focus is put on detailing the input arguments and output values of the main functions, as well as the relationships between them and their accurate use in adaptive and non-adaptive contexts.
