Dear R-users,

I'd like to announce the release of the new version of package 'ltm' 
for analyzing multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data under the 
Item Response Theory approach.

New features:

* function tpm() (along with supporting methods, i.e., anova, plot, 
margins, factor.scores, etc.) has been added for fitting Birnbaum's 
Three Parameter Model.

* grm() can now handle mix of dichotomous and polytomous items.

* descript() returns more output, especially for dichotomous manifest 
variables.

For more details check the CHANGES file. Future plans include 
development of functions for goodness-of-fit, and the Partial Credit 
Model.

Any kind of feedback (questions, suggestions, bug-reports, etc.) is 
more than welcome.


Best,
Dimitris
