Peer reviewedWalker, Cindy M.; Beretvas, S. Natasha; Ackerman, Terry – Applied Measurement in Education, 2001
Conducted a simulation study of differential item functioning (DIF) to compare the power and Type I error rates for two conditions: using an examinee's ability estimate as the conditioning variable with the CATSIB program and either using the regression correction from CATSIB or not. Discusses implications of findings for DIF detection. (SLD)
