• The optical function can handle the calibration of a substantial number of items (100-200) by grouping them into blocks of 3-5 items each.

  • The efficiency function can now provide the efficiency of the optimal design compared to a random design for each block.

  • Graphs for the optimal design in each block can now be created using the drawdesign function.

  • Convergence plots can be created for each block for monitoring the convergence of optimal item calibration algorithm using the convergenceplot function.

  • A new function, drawdesign_allitems, has been created to enable users to display the optimal calibration design for all items in one graph.
