Highlights

  • Evaluates Jev option probabilities against 20 binary survey items from five archived waves.
  • Compares population-only prediction, prediction given recorded answers, and sequential completion.
  • Recorded answers can improve predictive scores while associations remain distorted.
  • In one case Jev predicted 16% versus 56% in the survey for a conditional subgroup.
  • Reversing question order produced different joint distributions in both tested cases.
