Application of a Psychometric Rating Model to Ordered Categories Which Are Scored with Successive Integers
Open accessAbstract
A latent trait measurement model in which ordered response categories are both parameterized and scored with successive integers is investigated and applied to a summated rating or Likert ques tionnaire. In addition to each category, each item of the questionnaire and each subject are para meterized in the model; and maximum likelihood estimates for these parameters are derived. Among the features of the model which make it attractive for applications to Likert questionnaires is that the total score is a sufficient statistic for a subject's at titude measure. Thus, the model provides a formal ization of a familiar and practical procedure for measuring attitudes.

“Using threshold = "equidistant" forces the distance between two adjacent thresholds to be the same, that is for thresholds τ k and distance δ (see also Andrich 1978a; Andrich 1978b; Andersen 1977).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
