MSP: Stata module to perform the Mokken Scale Procedure

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: MSP implements the Mokken Scale Procedure defined by Hemker, Sijtsma and Molenaar (1995). This procedure construct sub-scales based on Loevinger H coefficients computed by LoevH (q.v.). The results depend of a threshold "c" fixed by the user : the authors of the procedure recommend to use a c exceeding 0.3. The kernel of the first sub-scale can be fixed.
