[`classical`] is the one that changes what you do next. The corrected //! point-biserial answers "did the students who knew the material get this right?", //! and a negative one almost always means a keying error or a second defensible //! reading of the stem. //! //! [`irt`] adds difficulty-aware ability estimates. Its priors are on by default //! and that is not a stylistic choice: unpenalized maximum likelihood has no finite //! solution for an item everyone answered correctly, and real classroom exams //! contain those routinely. //! //! [`students`] turns item statistics into per-objective standing, and is careful //! about what three questions can honestly support — it classifies on the observed //! rate and reports confidence from the Wilson interval separately. //! //! [`calibrate`] is the arrow back to authoring, and the reason the system //! compounds: statistics written onto an item are there the next time you consider //! using it. It writes to [`crate::model::bank`] files, which is the one place this //! module reaches upward, and it always shows a diff first. //! //! Everything here labels its own uncertainty. A point-biserial from twenty-four //! examinees has a standard error near 0.2, and a tool that reports it to three //! decimals without saying so is lying by omission. pub mod calibrate; pub mod classical; pub mod diagnostic; pub mod irt; pub mod students;
