An investigation of the comparability and accuracy of three differential item functioning (dif) detection methods using empirical and simulated data 1995 139 The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparability and accuracy of three differential item functioning (DIF) detection methods: the Mantel-Haenszel X2 approach, the IRT Unsigned Area approach, and the log-linear approach. Based on a revie...
A theoretical and empirical investigation of factor analytically-based matching criteria in differential item functioning 1995 172 Modern investigative procedures to detect differential item functioning (DIF) match examinee groups on ability before comparison. The validity of DIF procedures depends, in part, on the unidimensionality of the matching criterion; however, the most p...
Using the area between two item response functions to index differential item functioning : a generalized approach 1994 184 The area between two item response functions was used to construct two indicators of differential item functioning. The first indicator was designed from the integral of the difference of the two response functions across six standard deviations of a...
