Introduction to DIGRAM with focus on intentions of the implementation and an overview of things that may be hard to find elsewhere: e.g. analysis of ordinal categorical data by graphical model and item analysis by graphical and log-linear Rasch models. Monday lecture.pdf

Interaction tests in graphical Rasch models. Testing differential item functioning (DIF) and local dependence (LD). Item analysis by log-linear Rasch models where items may function differentially and/or to be locally dependent. Since DIF and LD occurs in many health related scales, log-linear Rasch models provide an important extension. Thursday lecture.pdf

Person fit revisited. Exact tests of person fit in log-linear Rasch models. Tests of unidimensionality and other loose ends. Exact tests of person fit uses conditional probabilities of response patterns as test statistics based on Martin-Löf (Scand J Statist, vol. 1, 3-18, 1974). Friday lecture.pdf
