Abstract

This article reviews PROC IRT, which was added to Statistical Analysis Software in 2014. We provide an introductory overview of a free version of SAS, describe what PROC IRT offers for item response theory (IRT) analysis and how one can use PROC IRT, and discuss how other SAS macros and procedures may compensate the IRT functionalities of PROC IRT.
