title: 'mcqAnalysis: Classical Test Theory Item Analysis for Multiple-Choice Tests'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: A unified toolkit for classical test theory (CTT) item analysis of multiple-choice
  test data, including item difficulty (p-value), item discrimination (point-biserial
  correlation and upper-lower 27-percent discrimination index), per-distractor analysis
  (frequency, proportion, and discrimination), and Haladyna's distractor efficiency.
  A wrapper function returns a tidy 'mcq_analysis' object with print, plot (difficulty-discrimination
  scatter), and APA-style table methods for direct inclusion in journal manuscripts.
  Implemented in pure R with no compiled code and minimal dependencies.
