Link to (integrate with?) Python IRT estimation libraries #21

Closed frankier closed 3 years ago

frankier commented 3 years ago

Hi! This looks like a great library. Thanks for your work on it!

One thing that might be nice is to link to some projects which can estimate IRT parameters. since this seems to be a common request. I've found the following which seem to be maintained:

https://github.com/nd-ball/py-irt https://github.com/eribean/girth_mcmc https://github.com/eribean/girth

Thanks for the links, I actually wasn't aware parameter estimation was implemented in Python. In the past I found pyirt and a library from Khan Academy, called "avocado" or "guacamole", but it's gone from their GitHub.

I'll try these out and then add them to the README and documentation.

@douglasrizzo Thanks for the shout out in the README! I'm constantly working on GIRTH to improve it!
