Nonparametric IRT Analysis of Quality-of-Life Scales and Its Application to the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL-Bref)
Background This study investigates the usefulness of the nonparametric monotone homogeneity model for evaluating and constructing Health-Related Quality-of-Life Scales consisting of polytomous items, and compares it to the often-used parametric graded response model. Methods The nonparametric monoto...
