Fig 2 Test information functions. NOTE. Test information function curves were estimated by using item parameter estimates from the original data (n=444 sample 2).26 Abbreviations: Top 7 IER (Low Function Patients), test information function using the 7 most commonly used items in the hip CAT for patients with lower FS scores; Top 7 IER (High Function Patients), test information function using the 7 most commonly used items in the hip CAT for patients with higher FS scores; Full Test (P&P Version), test information function using all items in the hip CAT item bank for all patients; Top 7 IER (Entire Sample), test information function using the 7 most commonly used items in the hip CAT for all patients regardless of FS scores. Abbreviation: IER, item exposure rate.
