The idea behind RPF is modularity. Most item factor analysis software is not modular. Modularity facilitates more contributors and cross pollination between projects.
To get the current released version from CRAN:
install.packages("rpf")There are a number of useful scripts in the util subdir:
install – Installs the package as quickly as possible. Skips building the vignettes and documentation.
build – Builds a source tarball
check – Builds a source tarball and checks it
rox – Re-generates the documentation.
test – Runs the test suite using the uninstalled tests against the installed package.
autodep – Recalculates the header file dependences
If you’re working on the C++ code, you probably want to adjust the settings in src/Makevars.
