“…Several reviews 12, 24, 25 of Rasch analysis have detailed the process and defined terminology; therefore, only a brief overview is provided here. Analysis was conducted in RUMM2020 26 using the dichotomous and partial credit models 27. Summary fit residuals (mean ± SD) for items and persons and chi‐square testing for item–trait interactions were used to evaluate overall fit.…”

ObjectiveMultiple mechanisms are involved in pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA). The painDETECT and Self‐Report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (S‐LANSS) questionnaires screen for neuropathic pain and may also identify individuals with musculoskeletal pain who exhibit abnormal central pain processing. The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to evaluate painDETECT and S‐LANSS for classification agreement and fit to the Rasch model, and to explore their relationship to pain severity and pain mechanisms in OA.MethodsA total of 192 patients with knee OA completed questionnaires covering different aspects of pain. Another group of 77 patients with knee OA completed questionnaires and underwent quantitative sensory testing for pressure–pain thresholds (PPTs). Agreement between painDETECT and S‐LANSS was evaluated using kappa coefficients and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. Rasch analysis of both questionnaires was conducted. Relationships between screening questionnaires and measures of pain severity or PPTs were calculated using correlations.ResultsPainDETECT and S‐LANSS shared a stronger correlation with each other than with measures of pain severity. ROC curves identified optimal cutoff scores for painDETECT and S‐LANSS to maximize agreement, but the kappa coefficient was low (κ = 0.33–0.46). Rasch analysis supported the measurement properties of painDETECT but not those of S‐LANSS. Higher painDETECT scores were associated with widespread reductions in PPTs.ConclusionThe data suggest that painDETECT assesses pain quality associated with augmented central pain processing in patients with OA. Although developed as a screening questionnaire, painDETECT may also function as a measure of characteristics that indicate augmented central pain processing. Agreement between painDETECT and S‐LANSS for pain classification was low, and it is currently unknown which tool may best predict treatment outcome.

“…Unless adequate control is provided for the "error," or "nuisance," variables, valid inferences cannot be made (van der Linden & Hambleton, 1997 (Bock, 1997). However, they differ in that the continuous variable controlling the probability of a correct response is assumed to be latent variable such as ability, and not an independently measured variable such as chronological age (Bock, 1997).…”

“…The value of a i is proportional to the slope of the tangent to the response function at this 0.50 point. As a i increases, the ability of the item to discriminate between persons with varying abilities also increases (van der Linden & Hambleton, 1997). With this model the ability variable is assumed to be normally distributed (Bock, 1997).…”

“…The Partial Credit Model (Masters, 1982) is developed from the dichotomous model (van der Linden & Hambleton, 1997). It can be used in any situation in which performances on an item or an assessment criterion are recorded in two or more ordered categories, and where there is an aim of obtaining measures on a latent unidimensional variable (Masters & Wright, 1997).…”

“…MTK, üç ayrı modelden oluşmaktadır. Bu modeller; madde güçlük parametresini içeren bir parametreli model; madde güçlük ve ayırt edicilik parametrelerini içeren iki parametreli model ve madde güçlüğü, madde ayırt ediciliği ile şans parametresini içeren üç parametreli model şeklinde sıralanmaktadır (Van der Linden ve Hambleton, 1997). Bununla birlikte, Rasch modeli olarak da adlandırılan bir parametreli model MTK'nın en temel modelidir (Harvey ve Hammer, 1999).…”

ÖZ:Bu araştırmada, açık uçlu sorularla yapılan ölçmelerde klasik test kuramı (KTK) ve çok yüzeyli Rasch modeline (ÇYRM) göre hesaplanan yetenek kestirimlerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma sekizinci sınıfa devam eden 100 öğrenci ile çalışmada puanlayıcı olarak görev alan dört matematik öğretmeninin katılımıyla gerçekleşmiştir. Çalışmanın verileri, açık uçlu altı matematik sorusundan oluşan bir başarı testi ve bu soruların puanlanmasında kullanılan bütüncül bir rubrik yardımıyla toplanmıştır. Açık uçlu matematik sorularına verilen yanıtların puanlanmasıyla elde edilen veriler, hem KTK'ya hem de ÇYRM'ye göre analiz edilmiştir. Dört puanlayıcının verdiği puanların ortalaması alınarak, KTK'ya ilişkin yetenek kestirimleri hesaplanmıştır. Ardından puanlayıcı, birey ve madde şeklinde üç yüzeyli bir desen ile çok yüzeyli Rasch analizi uygulanmıştır. Rasch analizinde ulaşılan ve logit cetvelinde rapor edilen yetenek kestirimlerinin puanlamada kullanılan rubriğin birimlerine dönüştürülmesiyle, iki kurama göre hesaplanan yetenek kestirimleri karşılaştırmaya hazır hale gelmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; KTK ve ÇYRM'ye göre hesaplanan yetenek kestirimleri arasındaki göreli uyumun son derece yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. İki kurama göre hesaplanan yetenek kestirimlerine ait ortalamalar arasında anlamlı fark bulunduğu ve dolayısıyla mutlak bir uyumun söz konusu olmadığı saptanmıştır. ÇYRM'de rapor edilen yetenek kestirimlerinin ölçüt geçerliğinin KTK'dan elde edilen yetenek kestirimlerine kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.Anahtar sözcükler: açık uçlu sorular, klasik test kuramı, çok yüzeyli Rasch modeli, yetenek kestirimi ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to compare the ability estimations of classical test theory (CTT) and the Many Facet Rasch model (MFRM) in measurements conducted with open-ended questions. The study was conducted with 100 eighth graders and four mathematics teachers who rated the students' work. The study's data were obtained using an achievement test with 6 open-ended mathematics questions and a holistic rubric for scoring these questions. The data obtained by rating the open-ended mathematics questions were analyzed using both CTT and MFRM. The ability estimations for CTT were calculated using the score averages of the four raters. Afterwards, Many Facet Rasch analysis was conducted using a three-facet pattern including raters, students and items. The ability estimations calculated by these two theories were prepared to be compared by converting ability estimations obtained from the Rasch analysis and reported in the logit scale into the units of rubric used for scoring. This study found that the relative agreement between the ability estimations calculated using CTT and MFRM was extremely high. It was determined that there was a significant difference between the means of the ability estimations of the two theories, and thus no absolute agreement. Research findings revealed that the concurrent validity of the ability estimations of MFRM is higher than that of CTT's ability esti...
