ERGO: A New Approach to Multidimensional Item Analysis.
Reynolds, Thomas J.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n3 p643-59 Fall 1981
Cliff's Index "c" derived from an item dominance matrix is utilized in a clustering approach, termed extracting Reliable Guttman Orders (ERGO), to isolate Guttman-type item hierarchies. A comparison of factor analysis to the ERGO is made on social distance data involving multiple ethnic groups. (Author/BW)
