TOTALSCORE= show total scores with extreme observations = Yes

TOTALSCORE=No

Winsteps uses an adjusted raw score for estimation, from which observations that form part of extreme scores or CUTLO= or CUTHI= have been dropped. This is displayed in Table 13.1, PFILE=, IFILE=, etc.

 

TOTALSCORE=Yes

The total raw score from the data file, after any recoding and weighting, is shown. This usually matches the numbers used in raw-score analysis and the counts in Table 13.3 etc.

 

This can be changed from the Specification pull-down menu.

 

Example: KCT.txt with TOTALSCORE=No. This shows scores on 15 non-extreme items.
