On the Unipos website, a rush model analysis tool developed under the guidance of Dr. John Michael Linacre "Winstepspage has been added.
Powerful software for Windows-based Rasch Model analysis designed as a tool to facilitate exploration and communication.
It is mainly used for educational tests, psychological assessments, awareness surveys, patient performance protocols, rating scale analysis, calibration of adaptive test item banks, etc.
About Winsteps
Various tests are used as tools to measure learning outcomes and abilities, and the Rusch model is used to improve the quality of those tests.
The Rasch model is one of the mathematical models that enable IRT analysis (item response theory).Dedicated software is required for slightly complicated calculations.Winstepsis one of them.
Winsteps implements two methods of estimating the Rasch parameter from ordered qualitative observations: the JMLE method (Joint Maximum Likelihood Estimation) and the PROX method (Proximal operator). Winsteps' JMLE equations have been enhanced to simultaneously estimate a person's ability and item difficulty.
In the case of dichotomy, "www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt122q.htm, and for polysemy, "www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt102t.htm' is similar to
By using these estimation methods, we can calculate the difficulty and reliability coefficients, which are lacking in the classical test theory (CCT), which depends on the test taker and the test, and improve the overall test quality (difficulty). degree, good questions, etc.).

Main functions
Over 40 different output tables to help visualize the results of your analysis such as scores, scales, errors and comparisons, measurements, standard errors and quality control fit statistics can be exported as Excel, SPSS or text files for integration with other files, human or It has many features such as principal component analysis of residuals for item multidimensionality.
- Construction of 2 min data and data files
- Fit analysis and rating scale
- Partial Credit Scale (PCM)
- Reliability and anchoring (standard errors, quality control fit statistics, etc.)
- Dichotomous data analysis (missing data, correlations, maps)
- Investigation of test functions, etc.
