Chapter 5: The PRTIII Test

You will need to read the text of the book to understand these examples. Official authors' website: Bond & Fox
Winsteps numerical results may differ somewhat from those in Bond & Fox due to differences in estimation procedures.

B&F PRTIII data p. 53

The entire dataset is obtained from www.facebook.com/ApplyingTheRaschModelBondFox.

Piagetian Reasoning Test - III data.

The original data set contains 13 items, and the same 150 children who took the BLOT test. Ministep will process the first 75 children.

Click on the "Output Tables" pull-down menu
Click on "13. ITEM Measure". The Table displays.
Scroll down to Table 13.2. This approximates Fig. 5.1
The items are in measure order along the pathway, see the left-hand column.
They spread across the pathway in the Infit Standardized central column.

B&F Table 5.1 p. 56

Click on the "Output Tables" pull-down menu
Click on "14. ITEM Measure". The Table displays.
Table 14.1 matches B&F Table 5.1.
The mean difficulty of the items is ".00".

B&F Figure 5.2 p. 56

To cross-plot the person measures:
Write a PFILE= from the BLOT data.
In a PRTIII analysis, use the "Plots" pull-down menu, then "Compare statistics". Compare measures, and specify the BLOT PFILE=

B&F Table 5.2 p. 56

Click on the "Output Tables" pull-down menu
Click on "18. PERSON entry". The Table displays.
Table 18.1 matches B&F Table 5.2.

For the BLOT results,
