Given the indicated local dependency, dependent items 4, 5, and 6 were made into a testlet (Table 2, POES 2 analysis).
Similarly, where local dependency is found to exist, the locally dependent items are added into a testlet to explore if this removes the dependency in the data [ 37].
If detected, the local dependency can be accommodated by combining locally dependent items into a 'super item' or testlets [ 46].
Although creating testlets to accommodate local dependency improved fit (analysis 6), two locally dependent items from the HADS required removal to obtain a strictly unidimensional solution (Analysis 7).
(items 17 and 18) DEP Dependent (items 19 and 20) ANX Anxious personality disorder (items 21 and 22).
Testing such scales against an RM would result in exclusion of locally dependent items or items causing DIF even though these items appear to be face valid [28].

All scales were checked for locally dependent item sets and item pairs with residual correlations rres>|.20| were examined [ 34].
This result indicates local dependence between items 1 and 2. To see whether the two locally-dependent items should be treated as a separate scale, we also fitted a correlated two-factor model, in which items 3 to 10 load on one factor and items 1 and 2 load on the other factor, and a one-factor model with items 3 to 10 (having removed items 1 and 2).
The response reflects a representationalist theory of perception, according to which we indirectly (mediately) perceive material things, by directly (immediately) perceiving ideas, which are mind-dependent items.
It could be the case that while students from Norway and Sweden do not perform particularly well on items requiring just "basic", but yet formal mathematics, for instance basic algebra, their curricula do include a variety of theorems which help them in solving a number of more heavily "theorem-dependent" items.
