From: Exponential distribution of total depressive symptom scores in relation to exponential latent trait and item threshold distributions: a simulation study

Fig. 7

Distributions for simulated total manifest variable scores when each item’s threshold was set to uniform distribution. Exponential distribution with the parameter value of λ = 1 was used for the latent trait of depressive symptoms, and uniform distribution with parameters 0 and 5 was applied for the thresholds of manifest variables. a With a normal scale and b with a log-normal scale
