Hi Eik, Thanks for pointing out this great package "drc".
Can you or anyone please help me to specify a constrained 5 PL model where only the transition parameter ("e" in L.5()) are allowed to differ? BTW, what does the argument "pmodels=" do in the model specification? And what about arguments "lower=" and "upper="? I feel they might be related to specifying constrained models.
