Test Empirical Randomness

 

Select by clicking on "Test Randomness" or from the Graphs menu. Empirical intervals are set with the "Empirical Interval" slider. This displays the local value of the mean-square statistics. The Outfit mean-square statistic (standardized residual chi-square divided by its degrees of freedom) is the red line. The Infit mean-square statistic (ratio of observed to expected residual variance) is the blue line.

 

The Test Empirical Randomness shows the  average mean-square for the subset of responses in a (person ability - item difficulty) interval on the latent variable. For instance,

Are the noisy responses by people with high abilities relative to the item difficulties (= carelessness) = high mean-squares for high measures?

Are the noisy responses by people with low abilities relative to the item difficulties (guessing) = high mean-squares for low measures?

Are the responses too predictable for people with abilities far from the item difficulties (= Binet-style response imputation) = low mean-squares for high measures and for low measures?

 

In classical test theory, 3-PL IRT, and conventional statistics, low mean-squares are considered good. In Rasch theory, they indicate some redundancy in the responses, but they do no harm.

 

Buttons are described in Graph window.
