Evaluation of Computer Simulated Baseline Statistics for Use in Item Bias Studies.

Rogers, H. Jane; Hambleton, Ronald K.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v49 n2 p355-69 Sum 1989

The validity of logistic test models and computer simulation methods for generating sampling distributions of item bias statistics was evaluated under the hypothesis of no item bias. Test data from 937 ninth-grade students were used to develop 7 steps for applying computer-simulated baseline statistics in test development. (SLD)
