This PR introduces a professional-grade performance benchmarking suite for IRT Ruby, providing users with detailed insights into computational characteristics, scaling behavior, and optimization performance across all three IRT models (Rasch, 2PL, 3PL).

🎯 Key Features Added

  1. Performance Benchmark Suite (benchmarks/performance_benchmark.rb)
  • Execution Speed Analysis: Measures iterations per second across 5 dataset sizes (50 to 100,000 data points)
  • Memory Profiling: Tracks object allocation and memory usage patterns
  • Scaling Analysis: Determines computational complexity (O(n^x)) for different dataset sizes
  • Missing Data Impact: Compares performance across different missing data strategies
  1. Convergence Analysis Suite (benchmarks/convergence_benchmark.rb)
  • Tolerance Optimization: Tests convergence behavior with different precision settings
  • Learning Rate Analysis: Identifies optimal learning rates for speed vs. reliability
  • Dataset Characteristics: Measures convergence under various data conditions
  • Missing Data Patterns: Analyzes how missing data affects convergence
