Five-facet rating scale with bias analysis: Essays+Days

Top Up Down  A A

Using the Essays dataset, judge-day interactions are now to be examined. Since the day number is already coded in Facet 4, this can be implemented with Dvalues= without reformatting the data.

 

Facets specifications and data (in file Essayday.txt):

 

; this is file essayday.txt

title = AP English Essays (College Board/ETS)

facets = 5 ; there are 5 facets in this analysis

Model=

?,?B,?,?,?B, R9 ; look for interaction/bias between reader and day

*

Dvalues=

5, 4, 5, 1 ; day number: facet 5 of each observation from label for element in facet 4

          ; starting in column 5 of the label with a length of one.

*

noncenter = 1 ; examinee facet floats

positive = 1 ; for examinees, greater score = greater measure

inter-rater = 3 ; facet 3 is the rater facet

usort = 2,3,1 ; sort residuals by 2=Essay, 3=Reader, 1=Examinee

convergence = 0.1 ; size of largest remaining marginal score residual at convergence

unexpected = 3.0 ; size of smallest standardized residual to report

arrange = M ; arrange output tables in Measure ascending order

 

Labels=

1,examinee

1-32 ; 32 otherwise anonymous examinees
