This article describes a nonparametric unidimensional unfolding model for dichotomous data (van Schuur 1984) and shows how it can be extended to multicategory data such as Likert-type rating data. This extension is analogous to Molenaar's (1982) application of Mokken's (1970) nonparametric unidimensional cumulative scaling model. The model is illustrated with an analysis of five-point preference ratings given in 1980 to five political presidential candidates by Democratic and Republican party activists in Missouri.

Collateral information has been used to address subpopulation heterogeneity and increase estimation accuracy in some large-scale cognitive assessments. The methodology that takes collateral information into account has not been developed and explored in published research with models designed specifically for noncognitive measurement. Because the accurate noncognitive measurement is becoming increasingly important, we sought to examine the benefits of using collateral information in latent trait estimation with an item response theory model that has proven valuable for noncognitive testing, namely, the generalized graded unfolding model (GGUM). Our presentation introduces an extension of the GGUM that incorporates collateral information, henceforth called Explanatory GGUM. We then present a simulation study that examined Explanatory GGUM latent trait estimation as a function of sample size, test length, number of background covariates, and correlation between the covariates and the latent trait. Results indicated the Explanatory GGUM approach provides scoring accuracy and precision superior to traditional expected a posteriori (EAP) and full Bayesian (FB) methods. Implications and recommendations are discussed.
