guess: Adjust Estimates of Learning for Guessing

Provides tools to adjust estimates of learning for guessing-related bias in educational and survey research. Implements standard guessing correction methods and a sophisticated latent class model that leverages informative pre-post test transitions to account for guessing behavior. The package helps researchers obtain more accurate estimates of actual learning when respondents may guess on closed-ended knowledge items. For theoretical background and empirical validation, see Cor and Sood (2018) <https://gsood.com/research/papers/guess.pdf>.
