Abstract
This paper defines a class of multivariate models combining features of Rasch type models with features of graphical interaction models into a common framework for analysis of criterion related construct validity and differential item functioning. Item analysis by Graphical Rasch models is illustrated with reanalysis of a summary Health scale counting numbers of experienced symptoms within the last six months.
