If a residual/response output filename is specified by Residual file=, a file of residuals from the main analysis is produced. This file is designed for input into other programs with one line per measurable observation. It can be used for calculating other fit statistics and producing specialized diagnostic reports.

 

Heading lines= control the output of the heading line. CSV= allows tab-delimited and other formats. QM quotation marks, controls whether labels are within quotation marks.

 

This file can be produced from the Output Files menu by clicking on Residual/Response Output file. This has additional options.

 

Here is an example of the format with 4 decimal places in the "Select fields" dialog box. The precise format depends on the number of facets in your data:

 

       Obs       Stp       Exp       Res       Var     StRes        Wt     LProb      Meas     Displ    Status         1         1 Senior sci

         1         1    2.1609   -1.1609    1.6268    -.9102     .3000    -.7140    -.7007    -.7136         1         1     .9859  Avogadro 

         1         1    1.4130    -.4130     .7187    -.4871     .3000    -.2370   -1.3477    -.5746         1         1      9859  Avogadro 

         3         3    1.5490    1.4510     .9248    1.5088     .3000   -1.6711   -1.1816    1.5689         1         1      9859  Avogadro 

 

The columns are:

 

 

 

For "Category implies Measure" (C->M) and "Measure implies Category" (M->C) statistics, for each observation in the Facets Residualfile=,

"expected score for this response" - round this to the nearest category number = expected average category

if "expected average category" = "observed response as renumbered into a count of ordered steps" then MC = 1, else, MC = 0.

Compute average of MC for each observed category across all the relevant data for C->M

Compute average of MC for each expected category across all the relevant data for M->C

 

Example: The "Obs" (observed) is the original data. The "Stp" (step) is the ordinal version of the original data. This version is used for analysis, and is the version on which the "Exp" (expected) and the "Res" (residual) are based. This version may be the same as the original data, or the original data may be transformed either due to explicit instructions by the analyst, or by default operation of Facets.

 

For instance, suppose that the original data are observations of these three values: 10, 20 and 30. Then, by default, Facets will analyze these observations as the "steps": 10, 11, 12. If the original data are intended to be 10,11,12,13,14,....,28,29,30. Then please specify this is in your Models= statement:

Models=

?,?,..., R30K   ; where "K" means "Keep" the original numeration.
