I want to make an index using IRT, I use eRm package. I have a data frame (24 items, 4 categories, 427 cases) that works if I use PCM (partial credit model), but, when I run RSM (rating scale model) this appear:
Error in solve.default(parest$hessian) : Lapack routine dgesv: system is exactly singular: U[14,14] = 0 By mistake I recoded the items in three categories, and works the RSM, but when I realized I recoded to four again and nothing... the same error. Anyone? THANKS!!!
