Hi!
I want to construct 5 latent variables from a set of 20 items, which are responded on a 7-score likert scale I was wondering if I can do that with -irt- or it should be done through gsem?
The items and their associated latent variables are pre-decided based on the theory, however, I do not know how can I specify the -irt- command to recognize that I want 5 variables each based on 5 determined items?
The reason that I am reluctant to use gsem is that when I specified the model in gsem, it took 2 days, and it was still on iteration 3.
Thank you
Emma
