GRM

The Graded Response Model is an item response theory model developed by Fumiko Samejima in 1969 for ordered polytomous items such as Likert-type scales. It estimates both the discriminating power of each item and a set of threshold parameters marking the boundaries between adjacent response categories, while simultaneo

Ordinal Content Validity

Ordinal content validity replaces the traditional binary (yes/no) expert relevance judgment with a graded, Likert-type rating scale, allowing richer expert opinion to be captured when evaluating whether scale items adequately represent the intended construct domain.

Ordinal IRT

Ordinal item response theory (ordinal IRT) comprises a family of probabilistic models — most notably the Graded Response Model and the Partial Credit Model — that relate a respondent's standing on a latent trait to the probability of choosing each ordered response category on a polytomous item. It extends classical IRT

Polytomous DIF

Polytomous differential item functioning detects whether a test or survey item with more than two ordered response categories (e.g., Likert-type scales, partial-credit items) functions differently across groups such as gender, ethnicity, or language background, after controlling for the latent trait being measured. It

Polytomous item analysis

Polytomous item analysis examines the psychometric behavior of items that have more than two ordered response categories — such as Likert-type scales or partial-credit tasks. It evaluates each item's difficulty thresholds, discriminating power, and category functioning to determine whether the full response scale is be
