Fig 1 Probability curve for 4-category collapsed scale. Graphic representation of the probability of response for each of the 4 categories (1, go; 2, little, some, moderate; 3, very, extremely; 4, stop/avoid). The y axis represents the probability of responding to one of these categories (0−1.0) and the x axis represents the person measure minus the item measure in logits.
