A reduction in number of response categories, from five to three, for the MSIS-29-PHYS items resolved any disordering.
Since reliability is significantly harder to define than availability (as it depends on the context of the application requirements), the authors suggest that software architects consider the following two questions: "(1) How are concurrent writes to the same item resolved?; (2) What is the consistency experienced by clients?".
If an item has low (high) difficulty, then the item resolves individual differences in the lower (higher) range of the latent phenotype continuum.
Since filtering represents the probability of an item to be selected, while pigeonholing represents the probability of a category to be selected, their complementary functions parallel the aforementioned two forms of competition: filtering resolves competition between items; pigeonholing resolves competition between different categories, including different perceptual interpretations.
In addition, we show how the differential resolution of psychometric instruments (i.e., whether the instrument includes items that resolve individual differences in the normal range or in the clinical range of a phenotype) affects the power to detect genetic variants.
In the previous validation of the PIPP [ 18] a global recoding was conducted across all items to resolve disordered thresholds.
This instrument includes 11 items that resolve into social and emotional subscales, while a shortened version contains six items (de Jong Gierveld & Van Tilburg, 2006).
Some minor modifications to the six DSH scales were required to fully meet the assumptions of the Rasch model, namely, the formation of sub-tests to deal with local response dependency (all scales except SIQTR and SITBI), item splitting to resolve differential item functioning (all scales), and item deletion to deal with one grossly misfitting item (nail biting to cause bleeding or pain) in SHIF.
ensuring that reconciling items are resolved in a timely manner.
