Fig. 2

Process model of a binary scale of depressive symptoms. Two sets of random numbers, representing individuals with a specific degree of a depressive symptom’s latent trait and a specific threshold for each depressive symptom, are generated. If the random number of the depressive symptom’s latent trait is greater than that of the specific item’s threshold, the specific symptom is considered present
