Abstract

Large samples are generally considered necessary for Rasch model to obtain robust item parameter estimates. Recently, small sample Rasch analysis was suggested as preliminary assessment of items' psychometric properties. This study is to evaluate the Rasch analysis results using small sample sizes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2021.
All research outputs
#14,760,611
of 22,721,584 outputs
Outputs from Quality of Life Research
#1,595
of 2,842 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#117,901
of 198,117 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Quality of Life Research
#15
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,721,584 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,842 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 198,117 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
