FITP= person misfit criterion = 2.0

Specifies the minimum t standardized fit value at which persons are selected for reporting as misfits. For Table 6, person measures in fit order, a person is omitted only if the absolute values of both t standardized fit statistics are less than FITP=, both mean-square statistics are closer to 1 than (FITP=)/10, and the person point-biserial correlation is positive.

For Table 7, the diagnosis of misfitting persons, with a t standardized fit greater than FITP= are reported. Selection is based on the OUTFIT statistic, unless you set OUTFIT=N in which case the INFIT statistic is used. If MNSQ=YES, then selection is based on the mean-square value: 1 + FITP=/10.

Example 1:        You wish to examine wildly guessing persons in Tables 6 and 7.

                       FITP= 3                an extreme positive value

Example 2:        You wish to include all persons in Tables 6 and 7.

                       FITP= -10        a value more negative than any fit statistic
