Frederick Wolfe and John T. Sharp have constructed a "Quick Course in Rasch Analysis" illustrating the utility and versatility of Rasch measurement. The course is tailored to their medical specialty, but it contains ideas transferable to other fields.
One slide is shown in the Figure, a Keyform comparing study findings: "Patients, trials and treatments may be shown on the same scale".
