Mathématiques informatique et sciences humaines, Tome 127 (1994), pp. 19-47.

Le modèle de Rasch, ou modèle logistique de réponse à l'item à un paramètre, constitue une avancée méthodologique importante, mais l'étude de l'adéquation de données empiriques à ce modèle ne va pas sans problème. Après une brève présentation du modèle de Rasch, l'article discute certains problèmes généraux rencontrés dans les études d'adéquation. Vingt-quatre tests d'adéquation, graphiques et statistiques sont ensuite présentés et évalués. La nécessité d'employer plusieurs méthodes d'évaluation est soulignée dans la conclusion.

Studying model data fit is a problem while employing Rasch model (one-parameter item response model). After a brief presentation of the Rasch model, this article discutes some general problems encountererd in the evaluation of item fit. Then 24 tests of item fit, both graphic and statistical, are presented and evaluated. The necessity of employing several methods of evaluation is enhanced in the conclusion.
