At the 1988 Illinois Boys Diving Competition, 12 divers performed 3 dives which were rated by 7 judges. The divers chose which types of dive to perform, so each diver did not perform most types of dive. Not all ratings were recorded. Thus, most of the complete data is "missing"! The original ratings were in the range 0 to 10 with half point increments, so all ratings have been doubled to make them integers. Previous analyses have been performed so that good starting logit values are known. One diver did the wrong dive by mistake - this is deliberately treated as missing data in this analysis. Include clearly aberrant data, e.g., lucky guesses, if your purpose is to describe the past, e.g., for awarding a prize. Omit such data if your purpose is to predict the future, e.g., to discover examinee's ability to perform surgery or to obtain item difficulty calibrations for an item bank.
