The graded score, Y, 1 <= Y <= ncat, will be calculated on the basis of
the (weighted) observed score X.
Then, the probability distribution of Y given theta will be calculated
by summing the probability distribution of X given theta.
Finally, the information function associated with the graded score Y will be
calculated as the ratio of the slope of TRF of Y squared to the
conditional variance of Y given theta.
The slope of TRF will calculated numerically.
