The procedure relies on anchoring strategies to create a common frame of reference for interpreting measures taken at different times. Illustrates the use of these procedures using the FACETS…

Peer reviewedWolfe, Edward W.; Chiu, Chris W. T. – Journal of Outcome Measurement, 1999
Describes a Rasch rating scale analysis of a multi-occasion evaluation that produces confusing results when subjected to separate calibrations. Applies a correction algorithm developed by B. Wright (1996) to show how the Wright algorithm can reduce misfit to the Rasch rating scale model as well as changing the interpretation of change. (SLD)

This paper describes a method for disentangling changes in persons from changes in…
