Values of MSA below .50 suggest that the item does not measure the same domain as
the remaining items in the pool, and so that it should be removed. At the same
time, for a normal-range test, an optimal pool of items should have a large spread
of Relative difficulty indices, and each quartile should have a similar number of
items. When removing items from the pool, all these aspects should be taken into
account. Sometimes, the conclusion is that new items should be added to the pool
of items.

DISTRIBUTION OF RESIDUALS
Note: if the value of RMSR is much larger than Kelley's criterion value the model
cannot be considered as good
Weighted Root Mean Square Residual (WRMR) = 0.0838 (values under 1.0
have been recommended to represent good fit; Yu & Muthen, 2002)
BC Bootstrap 95% confidence interval of WRMR = ( 0.079 0.086)
