Adds either one fixed item-location departure or a fixed block describing an item's threshold structure, then repeats the complete conditional calibration and downstream Rasch analysis. The departure is fixed rather than random; raw-score sufficiency and the common discrimination remain.

Usage

relax_explanatory(fit, item, component = c("location", "thresholds"))

Arguments

fit

A fitted explanatory Rasch model.

item

Item name.

component

Either "location" or "thresholds".

Value

A partially relaxed "rasch_explanatory" fit.
