Create min
-constraints related to an item parameter/value. That is, the created
constraints can be used to minimize the sum of the
item values (itemValues
) of the test form.
Note that this constraint can only be used when only one test form has to be assembled.
Arguments
- nForms
Number of forms to be created.
- itemValues
Item parameter/values for which the sum per test form should be constrained.
- weight
a weight for the real-valued variable(s). Useful when multiple constraints are combined. Should only be used if the implications are well understood.
- whichForms
An integer vector indicating which test forms should be constrained. Defaults to all the test forms.
- info_text
a character string of length 1, to be used in the
"info"
-attribute of the resultingconstraint
-object.- itemIDs
a character vector of item IDs in correct ordering, or NULL.
