  <dc:title>Monte Carlo Simulation-Based Sample-Size Planning for Item
Response Theory</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package irtsim version 0.1.1</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides a pipeline application programming interface (API) for
    Monte Carlo simulation-based sample-size planning in item response theory
    (IRT). Implements the 10-decision framework
    from Schroeders and Gnambs (2025) &lt;doi:10.1177/25152459251314798&gt; as a
    three-step workflow: specify the data-generating model with irt_design(),
    add study conditions with irt_study(), and run simulations with
    irt_simulate(). Supports one-parameter logistic (1PL), two-parameter
    logistic (2PL), and graded response models with missing-completely-at-random
    (MCAR), missing-at-random (MAR), booklet, and linking missingness
    mechanisms. Results include mean squared error (MSE), bias, root mean
    squared error (RMSE), standard error (SE), and coverage criteria with
    summary and plot methods.</dc:description>
