ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a method of analyzing large scale survey results comprising obtaining a sparse data set representing a subset of an original data set comprising a plurality of individuals' responses to a plurality of questions, wherein the sparse data set comprises less than ninety percent of the responses in the original data set; analyzing the sparse data set using a general diagnostic model; and obtaining estimated person parameters using the general diagnostic model.
