What is the GAUSS CHOPIT library?

The GAUSS CHOPITLIB library is a collection of GAUSS code developed by Mark Harris.

The chopitlib library implements the Compound Hierarchical Ordered Probit (CHOPIT) model. When used in conjunction with anchoring vignette questions, the CHOPIT model allows researchers to adjust for reporting heterogeneity in self-assessed survey questions.
