Uses R Statistics to perform the nonparametric analysis described in mokken.pdf and eRm-NPtest.

Description |
Select field: 4Z. Response value after recounting from zero |
Nonparametric analysis requires simple ordinal data. |
Persons are rows, items are columns Persons are columns, items are rows |
The columns are treated as items (variables) in this analysis. |
Omit persons with missing data Omit items with missing data |
Missing data is not allowed |
Column labels |
shown in reports and plot headings |
Mokken Nonparametric Scaling (dichotomous or polytomous data) |
Mokken tests Loevinger's Coefficient H reported as ItemH ISRF: item-step response function IIO: invariant item ordering |
Ponocny Nonparametric Tests (dichotomous data only) |
Ordinal tests of dependence and invariance |
There are more nonparametric tests available from the R Statistics > prompt, e.g., T1l (learning) |
See mokken.pdf and eRm-NPtest. |
