A Comparison of Lord's Chi-Square, Raju's Area Measures, and the Likelihood Ratio Test on Detection of Differential Item Functioning.

Kim, Seock-Ho; Cohen, Allan S.

Applied Measurement in Education, v8 n4 p291-312 1995

Three procedures for the detection of differential item functioning under item response theory were compared. Data for 2 forms of a mathematics test taken by 1,490 college students were analyzed through F. M. Lord's chi-square, N. S. Raju's area measures, and the likelihood ratio test. (SLD)
