Differential Item Functioning for a Test with a Cutoff Score: Use of Limited Closed-Interval Measures.
Oshima, T. C.; And Others
Applied Measurement in Education, v7 n3 p195-209 1994
A procedure to detect differential item functioning (DIF) is introduced that is suitable for tests with a cutoff score. DIF is assessed on a limited closed interval of thetas in which a cutoff score falls. How this approach affects the identification of DIF items is demonstrated with real data sets. (SLD)
