PPT-Causal Rasch Models IOMW April 11-12, 2012

Vancouver Canada Jackson Stenner Donald S Burdick Mark H Stone Causal Rasch Models Abstract Raschs unidimensional models for measurement tell us how to connect object measures eg reader abilities measurement mechanisms eg machine generated cloze reading items and measurement outcomes counts correct on reading instruments Substantive theory tells us what interventions or manipulations to the measurement mechanism must offset be traded off for a change to the measure for an object of measurement to hold the measurement outcome constant Integrating a Rasch model with a substantive theory dictates the form and substance of permissible interventions Rasch analysis absent construct theory and an associated specification equation is a black box in which understanding may be more illusory than not Finally the quantitivity hypothesis Michel 2004 can be tested by comparing theory based tradeoff relations with observed tradeoff relations It is asserted that only quantitative variables as measured support such tradeoffs Note that testing the quantitivity hypothesis requires more than manipulating the algebraic equivalencies in the Rasch model or descriptively fitting data to the model What is required is an experimental interventionmanipulation on either reader ability or text complexity or a conjoint intervention on both simultaneously that yields a successful prediction on the resultant measurement outcome count correct When manipulations of the sort just described are introduced for individual reader text encounters and model predictions are consistent with what is observed the quantitivity hypothesis is sustained. exp(,)1expviiviivipxviDxVDxV right1:_ R aschmodelvvii1,2,,, the marginal sum) for the subject parameter (and ivii1,2,,, for the item difficulty parameter).
