Hello :)
I would like to improve my bifactor model by allowing two items to correlate. However i can only find ways to allow covariance for factors.
Do you have suggestion ?
Thanks in advance :)

Basically, IRT doesn't allow that what I learned. Instead, You can use two options.

One is making a new method factor for allowing item local dependence, the other one removes an unfit item where item fit indices with itemfit() function.
