Winsteps or Facets? |

Winsteps and Facets software are based on the same statistical methodology, called Rasch Analysis, but they implement it in different ways intended for different applications. Winsteps: this is designed for typical educational or survey data where a set of questions, also called "test items", is administered to a sample of persons, such as students. The questions could be multiple choice or an attitude survey. This produces a rectangle of responses where each person is a row and each column is a question. Winsteps analyzes these data to produce an "ability", "attitude" or similar measure for every person and a difficulty measure for every question, along with many other diagnostic indicators. Facets: this is designed for situations where a person's performance on a task is rated by a rater, judge, expert, teacher or even self-rated. This usually produces a 3 or more dimensional dataset which is sparse (much missing data) because not every person is rated by every rater on every task. Further, the rater may rate the student doing the task using a set of probes. This would produce a 4-dimensional dataset. The rating situation can become more complicated. For instance, when rating performance in the Arts or Sport, often the dataset has high dimensionality. As with Winsteps, measures are produced for every participant (person, rater, task, etc.) in the rating situation along with diagnostic indicators. |
