Response matrix

the original evaluation of Dhamala et al. covered 5 model configurations over all 23,679 prompts

Rasch analysis p = σ(θ − z)

42,000 responses, 80/20 split over cells · 42 subjects · 994 items · did not converge

10 of 42 subjects answered every item alike, so their θ is unbounded and sits pegged to the column edge.
