meow: Unified Framework for Computer Adaptive Testing Simulations

Provides an extensible framework for conducting simulations to compare data generating processes, item selection algorithms, parameter update algorithms, and stopping rules in computer adaptive testing (CAT) applications. Bundled algorithms include the Elo-based update rules of Klinkenberg, Straatemeier and van der Maas (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.compedu.2011.02.003> and Vermeiren, Kruis, Bolsinova, van der Maas and Hofman (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.caeai.2025.100376>.
