Example 33
The Posterior Predictive Distributions window contains a table with a row for every
person and a column for every observed variable in the model. An asterisk (*) indicates
a missing value, while << indicates a response that places inequality constraints on the
underlying numeric variable. To display the posterior distribution for an item:
E Click on the table entry in the upper-left corner (Person 1’s response to item1).
The Posterior window opens, displaying the posterior distribution of Person 1’s
underlying numeric score. At first, the posterior distribution looks jagged and random.
