A Nonparametric Approach for Assessing Latent Trait Unidimensionality.

Stout, William

Psychometrika, v52 n4 p589-617 Dec 1987

A procedure--based on item response theory--for testing the hypothesis of unidimensionality of the latent space is proposed. Use of the procedure is supported by an asymptotic theory and a Monte Carlo simulation study. The procedure tests for unidimensionality in test construction and/or compares two tests. (SLD)
