UASCALE= the anchor user-scale value of 1 logit = 0 |
Specifies the number of units per logit of the anchor values.
UASCALE=0 - the anchor values are in the current output scale set with USCALE=
UASCALE= other value - this is the units per logit of the anchor values.
UIMEAN= and UPMEAN= are ignored when there are anchor values.
Example 1: The anchor values are user-scaled such that 1 logit is 45.5 units, so that differences of -100, -50, 0, +50, +100 correspond to success rates of 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%:
UASCALE = 45.5 |
; 1 logit = 45.4 user-units |
USCALE = 1 |
report in logits |
Example 2: The anchor values are on one scaling, but you want the reported values to be on another scaling.
UASCALE= 5 |
; there are 5 units per logit in the scaled values |
USCALE=10 |
; you want 10 units per logit on the reported values |
Example 3: The anchor measures are in logit scaling, the output measures are to be in user-scaling.
UASCALE= 1 |
; anchor values in logits |
USCALE=30 |
; 30 user-units per logit |
Example 4: Anchor measures are in same scaling as the output measures
UASCALE= 0 |
; anchor values in USCALE= scaling. 0 to ignore (default) |
USCALE=user-value |
; also used for anchor values |
Example 5: Anchor values are scaled in Probits, not Logits
UASCALE = 0.588 |
|
USCALE = 1 |
report in logits |
Example 6: Anchor values are to be rescaled with a new range
IAFILE= (values) |
the anchor values in anchor-value scaling |
UASCALE= value |
; anchor value scaling: on input anchor values converted to logits |
UIMEAN=0 |
to set the internal base line |
TFILE=* |
in control file: done after analysis, but before reporting |
USCALE=value |
user-rescaling with new range |
UIMEAN=value |
user-rescaling with new offset |
....... |
any other instructions for TFILE= |
