Unifactor Latent Trait Models Applied to Multifactor Tests: Results and Implications
Abstract
In order to extend the use of latent trait models across the full spectrum of mental testing, the applicability of the models to multivariate data must be determined. Since all of the commonly used models assume a unidimensional test, the applicability of the procedures to obviously multidimensional tests, such as achievement tests, is questionable. This paper presents the results of the application of latent trait analyses to a series of tests that vary in factorial complexity. The purpose is to determine what characteristics are estimated by the models for these tests, while at the same time determining the relationship of latent trait parameters to traditional item analysis and factor analysis indices.

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.
