| Rezumat≠ | Polytomous confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tests a pre-specified factor structure when items have three or more ordered response categories (e.g., Likert scales). By working with polychoric correlations and robust estimators such as WLSMV, it avoids the distortions that arise when ordered categorical data are treated as continuous. | Item response theory models the probability that a respondent answers an item correctly (or endorses it) as a function of the respondent's latent trait level and the item's own statistical properties — difficulty, discrimination, and guessing. Unlike classical test theory, IRT places persons and items on the same scale, yielding measurement that is sample-independent for items and test-independent for persons. |
