IRT linking, DIF, DTF, and invariance evidence

Scale linking and invariance are treated as evidence components rather than binary declarations of validity.

Native utilities include mean-sigma, mean-mean, Stocking-Lord, and Haebara objectives, anchor screening/purification, DIF/DTF effect curves, anchor-set stability, session/device drift, and descriptive process-channel concordance. For mature equating workflows, equateIRT remains an explicit optional engine rather than being replaced by a simpler estimator.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
