Indeed, although central for statistics, its difficulty is also well known.
The amount of discrimination as represented by the AUC statistics (emotional difficulties = .79, behavioural difficulties = .77) are comparable to the AUC of the emotional symptoms scale (.75) and the conduct problems scale (.77) of the self-report SDQ [ 16].
When multivariate morphometrics was combined with both quantitative morphology and multivariate statistics, several difficulties still remained.
The infit statistics, item difficulties, their standard errors and separation indices for each domain are shown in Table 2.
The isotactic-rich polymer showed a discrepancy between the observed and the calculated intensities, assuming the first-order Markov statistics, due to difficulty in determining its polymerization mechanism.
As indicated in [23], the models using global image statistics usually have difficulty to segment many real-world images with intensity inhomogeneity.
FA, as a linear model based on second-order statistics, generally has difficulty processing real-world data which has non-Gaussian distributions.
However, Taguchi et al. did not report reliability coefficients for their instrument, nor did they provide individual item statistics (e.g., difficulty, discrimination, and fit statistics) and results of the distractor analysis.

High proficiency group As discussed in the previous sections, the general tendency for all test takers is that the DWD affects the estimated item difficulty the most.
These items would inevitably have high item difficulty statistics (>.90) with almost all students getting the items correct.
The discordance in the reported statistics highlights the difficulty of obtaining an accurate evaluation and high-quality information in Gabon.
