Multicore on searchK for Windows users

[AdaemmerP]

• Is there a possibility to implement a wrapper for parallel::mclapply() in searchK() such as this one:
  https://github.com/nathanvan/mcmc-in-irt/blob/master/post-10-mclapply-hack.R ?
  This would be great for users who do not use Linux or Mac.OS

• Another possibility which combines reproducibility and parallel computing would be something like this:
  https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/doRNG/versions/1.6.6/topics/%25dorng%25

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm working on a multicore version of the core function when I can find bits of time. I'll see what I can do to get this working on Windows but honestly it has a lower priority for me because I don't have a convenient way to run tests on it. I'll give it some thought though and see if I can reach out to others who might be able to help.

I encountered similar problem when running search k. The error:[Error in mclapply(., function(x) { : 'mc.cores' > 1 is not supported on Windows]. Any update on this issue? Thank you!
