title: 'throughyear: Linking, Routing and Fairness for Through-Year Assessment'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.throughyear
abstract: Treats a through-year assessment system (interims during the year feeding
  a multistage summative) as the unit of analysis. Links interims to the summative
  scale with a latent multivariate normal model that carries each score's measurement
  error forward and handles missing interims, estimated by the EM algorithm (Dempster,
  Laird and Rubin, 1977, <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2517-6161.1977.tb01600.x>) with
  SQUAREM acceleration (Varadhan and Roland, 2008, <https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9469.2007.00585.x>);
  simulates cold-start versus prior-informed routing in a two-stage multistage test;
  checks whether priors disadvantage late enrollers, low scorers or fast growers;
  and evaluates decision accuracy and consistency of through-year scores against a
  single summative.
