I have a dataset (based on a 5-point Likert scale). Following the direct method, I first calibrated it as 4 (fully in), 3 (crossover point), and 2 (fully out), but given that it is skewed to the right, I recalibrated it based on percentiles (20th, 50th, 80th), then (25th, 50th, 75th). However, only the complex and intermediate solutions are shown, while the parsimonious solution is still absent. What might be the reason?
Thank you,
