Peer reviewedBacon, Donald R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1995
A maximum likelihood approach to correlational outlier identification is introduced and compared to the Mahalanobis D squared and Comrey D statistics through Monte Carlo simulation. Identification performance depends on the nature of correlational outliers and the measure used, but the maximum likelihood approach is the most robust performance…

Type I error rates of the likelihood ratio test for the detection of differential item functioning (DIF) were investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. The graded response model with five ordered categories was used to generate data sets of a 30-item test for samples of 300 and 1,000 simulated examinees. All DIF comparisons were simulated by…

Peer reviewedKim, Seock-Ho; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1994
Type I error rates of F. M. Lord's chi square test for differential item functioning were investigated using Monte Carlo simulations with marginal maximum likelihood estimation and marginal Bayesian estimation algorithms. Lord's chi square did not provide useful Type I error control for the three-parameter logistic model at these sample sizes.…
