About exametrika
A test-theory package that grew into a graphical-model toolkit, now spending its releases paying down the API debt that growth created.
exametrika is an R psychometrics package covering IRT, latent class/rank analysis, and biclustering, and it has been shipping features at an unusual clip for a CRAN package. The last two releases stopped adding capability and turned inward: 1.14.0 fixed a documented-but-never-implemented graphical-parameter passthrough, and 1.15.0 landed a full-codebase audit that corrected bugs which silently produced wrong results on missing data and 0-indexed polytomous codes. Argument names, orders, and defaults are now unified across the model functions, with every old name kept working behind a deprecation warning.
