這個主題是自己目前最有興趣的，我希望未來有機會可以使用Rasch/IRT將個案分類，如：用
Motor/Balance/ADL...能力描述個案的recovery state，呈現的方式不是只有一個指標分數，而
是一一呈現個案這些能力的狀況，然後呈現recovery state的等級。
2. link/compare outcomes:

之前對IRT特別有興趣是因為IRT能夠比較測同一個特質/能力之不同量表的結果，我覺得這樣
可以相互解讀的評估結果才具有意義，所以這個類別也是自己想要去深刻了解的。
3. improve reliability/precision/discrimination:

因想更了解以multidimensional IRT model增加reliability的概念及作法，故選擇此主題。
