Rasch measurement is preferable to factor analysis for reducing complex data matrices to unidimensional variables because factor analysis can mistake ordinally labeled stochastic observations for linear measures, and it does not construct linear measurement. Guidelines and instructions on how to use Rasch measurement to replace factor analysis are…
