However, in 1999 the ratio of total non-governmental credit to GDP in all transition economies remained below their estimated market-economy benchmarks for the provision of credit to the non-governmental sector. (...) This indicator provides a ranking of progress in liberalisation and institutional reform of the banking sector, on a scale of 1 to 4* (4.3). A score of 1 represents little change from a socialist banking system apart from the separation of the central bank and commercial banks, while a score of 2 means that a country has established internal currency convertibility and has liberalised significantly both interest rates and credit allocation. (...) A score of 1 represents little or no progress in hardening enterprise budget constraints and in requiring sound corporate governance practices, while a score of 2 means that there has been some progress in curbing directed credits and producer subsidies but with little enforcement of bankruptcy laws.

  WHO | Developing the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0

All items in the WHODAS 2.0 were tested against the Partial Credit Model for ordinality. The paired t -test was used for assessing the responsiveness of WHODAS 2.0 scores to clinical intervention. (...) As a result, two ways to compute the summary scores, namely simple and complex scoring, were found useful. (...) Simple scoring is as practical as hand scoring and may be preferable for busy clinical settings or interviews.
