Posterior probability of attitude parameters in a Rasch model

Dear all,

I have fitted a Rasch model to some data with glmer. From the results of 
this analysis (namely the item difficulty estimates) I would like to 
compute the posterior probability of any ability/attitude value, given 
some pattern of observed responses.

What I would need are the quadrature points and weights that are used in 
a glmer analysis, assuming that the latent ability values are drawn from 
a gaussian. I can't find them in the result object slots (or did I miss 
them?).

Thank you in advance for any hint,

Best,

Or you can use the irt.ability function in the MiscPsycho package that yields MLEs, EAPs, or MAPs given some item parameters

Thank you very much for pointing this library to me. It looks like this 
is what I need.
