@pgmj #Rstats packages such as #catR #mstR (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-69218-0) #mirt and other such infrastructure have moved the field on the #Psychometrics side.

But there is no way to integrate them into the systems I have been using so far to collect for example online #SurveyData with.

Another hurdle:
The field of #SurveyResearch being disconnected from #LatentVariable Theory and related test developments. Something I re-visit each time I deliver training to deliver tests, items, interviews.
