Mokken Scale Analysis: Discussion and Application
Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 2021 This article presents a discussion and illustration of Mokken scale analysis (MSA), a nonparametric form of item response theory (IRT), in relation to common IRT models such as Rasch and Guttman scaling. The procedure can be used for dichotomous and ordinal polytomous data commonly used with questionnaires.

Mokken Scale Analysis for Dichotomous Items Using Marginal Models [PDF]
Psychometrika, 2008 Scalability coefficients play an important role in Mokken scale analysis. For a set of items, scalability coefficients have been defined for each pair of items, for each individual item, and for the entire scale. Hypothesis testing with respect to these scalability coefficients has not been fully developed.
