Table 7.2-... KeyForms of responses of misfitting persons.

 

These tables show the persons or items for which the t standardized outfit (or infit, if OUTFIT=N) statistic is greater than the misfit criterion (FITP=). Persons are listed in descending order of misfit. The response codes are listed in their sequence order in your data file. The residuals are standardized response score residuals, which have a model led expectation of 0, and a variance of 1. Negative residuals indicate that the observed response was less correct (or, for rating (or partial credit) scales, lower down the rating scale) than expected. The printed standardized residual is truncated, not rounded, so that its actual value is at least as extreme as that shown. Standardized residuals between -1 and 1 are not printed. For exact details, see XFILE=. "X" indicates that the item obtained an extreme score. "M" indicates a missing response.

 

For Table 7, the diagnosis of misfitting persons, 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.
