Score and measure file output

Top Up Down  A A

From the Output Files menu as Score and measure file output. This enables you to control the Score and measure file. Score and measure output files simplify the transfer of measures  to other computer software. you may specify a file name that will be used to construct files to hold the numeric results presented in Facets measure tables. Also produced by Scorefile=.

 

The measures for each facet are written to a separate file, whose name is that specified, with the facet number appended. E.g., if Scorefile=Results, then the measures for facet 1 are written to Results.1, for facet 2 to Results.2 etc.

For Excel-formatted output files, the scores and measures for the element of each facet are written to a separate worksheet within the same workbook.

For SPSS-formatted output files, the scores and measures for the elements of all facets are written to one SPSS .sav file, which includes facet number as a variable.

 

 

Select Facets:

specifies the facets for which the elements are to be reported.

Select file format:

describes in what way you want the details of each element to be listed

Include column headings

Usually headings are not wanted when a score file is to be imported into a database. Heading lines=

Show unobserved elements

Reports all elements specified in Labels=. Otherwise only elements active in this analysis are reported. Omitunobserved=

Labels between quotation marks

Useful if labels contain blanks. Required by some software. The quotation mark character can be specified

Tab-separated fields

best field format for Excel

Character-separated fields

best field format for some database programs. The separator character can be specified

Fixed-length fields

easiest field format to read by eye

Button: Score fields to output

to select which fields to include in the score file. Check the fields to be output. Then click on OK.

 

(Other Buttons)

see Output Dialog box.

 

Example: Write out score files for each facet in fixed field format:

Score file= kct

 

This puts the measures for facet 1 in file "kct.1.txt", for facet 2 in "kct.2.txt", etc. The results depend on the score file field selection, but can be:

Notes

1. Raw score)

1-10

T.Score includes extreme scores, when Totalscore=Yes

Score excludes extreme scores, when Totalscore=No

2. Response count

11-20

T.Count includes extreme scores, when Totalscore=Yes

Count excludes extreme sscores, when Totalscore=No

Elements with no observations are omitted unless Omitunobserved=No

3. Observed average score

21-30

(Raw Score)/(Raw Count)

4. Fair average score

31-40

FairMAvge: Fair=Mean computes from the mean of the other facets

FairZAvge: Fair=Zero computes from the local zero of the other facets

5. Measure

41-50

Decimal places set with Umean=x,x,x

6. Standard error

51-60

Decimal places set with Umean=x,x,x

17. Element number

161-170

 

18. Element label

172- ?

field length depends on the length of the element labels

19. Facet number

10 columns

field positions depends on the length of the element labels

20. Facet label

Status code

Meaning for element measure

1

Anchored measure

0

No data available to estimate measure

-1

Measure estimated from data

-2

Measure estimated for extreme low score: XTREME=

-3

Measure estimated for extreme high score: XTREME=

-4

Unmeasurable, because all relevant data are generated by more than one extreme element

-5

Only one active data point for this element
