Abstract
There are many item response theory software packages designed for users. Here, the authors introduce an environment tailored to method development and simulation. Implementations of a selection of classic algorithms are available as well as some recently developed methods. Source code is developed in public repositories on GitHub; your collaboration is welcome.
