PISA Data Analysis Manual: SAS, Second Edition
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) surveys collected data on students’ performance in reading, mathematics and science, as well as contextual information on students’ background, home characteristics and school factors which could influence performance. This publication includes detailed information on how to analyse the PISA data, enabling researchers to both reproduce the initial results and to undertake further analyses. In addition to the inclusion of the necessary techniques, the manual also includes a detailed account of the PISA 2006 database. It also includes worked examples providing full syntax in SAS®.

Analyses with Plausible Values
As described in Chapters 5 and 6, the cognitive data in PISA are scaled with the Rasch Model and the performance of students is denoted with plausible values (PVs). For minor domains, only one scale is included in the international databases. For major domains, a combined scale and several subscales are provided. For each scale and subscale, five plausible values per student are included in the international databases. This chapter describes how to perform analyses with plausible values.
