Detection of Differential Item Functioning in Multiple Groups.

Kim, Seock-Ho; And Others

Journal of Educational Measurement, v32 n3 p261-76 Fall 1995

A method is presented for detection of differential item functioning in multiple groups. This method is closely related to F. M. Lord's chi square for comparing vectors of item parameters estimated in two groups. An example is provided using data from 600 college students taking a mathematics test with and without calculators.
