Paek, Insu; Wilson, Mark – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2011
This study elaborates the Rasch differential item functioning (DIF) model formulation under the marginal maximum likelihood estimation context. Also, the Rasch DIF model performance was examined and compared with the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure in small sample and short test length conditions through simulations. The theoretically known…

Paek, Insu – ETS Research Report Series, 2009
Three statistical testing procedures well-known in the maximum likelihood approach are the Wald, likelihood ratio (LR), and score tests. Although well-known, the application of these three testing procedures in the logistic regression method to investigate differential item function (DIF) has not been rigorously made yet. Employing a variety of…

Paek, Insu; Young, Michael J. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2005
When the item response theory (IRT) model uses the marginal maximum likelihood estimation, person parameters are usually treated as random parameters following a certain distribution as a prior distribution to estimate the structural parameters in the model. For example, both PARSCALE (Muraki & Bock, 1999) and BILOG 3 (Mislevy & Bock,…
