		Psychometric Analysis with Rasch Measurement Theory //
		Streamlines reproducible Rasch measurement theory analyses for
		ordinal item-response data, combining estimation routines from
		'eRm', 'psychotools', 'mirt', 'iarm', and 'lavaan' with
		consistent diagnostic, plotting, and reporting layers. Covers
		the four basic psychometric criteria summarised by Christensen
		et al. (2021) doi:10.1111/sms.13908 -- unidimensionality, local
		independence, ordered response category thresholds, and
		invariance across subgroups -- together with item fit,
		targeting, reliability, category functioning, and descriptive
		item-response plots. A distinguishing feature is the use of
		simulation-based critical values to replace rule-of-thumb
		cutoffs for conditional infit mean-square, Yen's Q3 local-
		dependence statistic, the largest residual-PCA eigenvalue,
		ordinal CFA fit indices, and partial-gamma DIF and local-
		dependence coefficients, optionally augmented with
		multiplicity-corrected bootstrap p-values. Outputs are
		knitr::kable() tables and 'ggplot2' figures suitable for direct
		inclusion in 'Quarto' and 'R Markdown' reports.
