Investigating Measurement Invariance by Means of Parameter Instability Tests for 2PL and 3PL Models
Debelak, Rudolf; Strobl, Carolin
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v79 n2 p385-398 Apr 2019
M-fluctuation tests are a recently proposed method for detecting differential item functioning in Rasch models. This article discusses a generalization of this method to two additional item response theory models: the two-parametric logistic model and the three-parametric logistic model with a common guessing parameter. The Type I error rate and the power of this method were evaluated by a variety of simulation studies. The results suggest that the new method allows the detection of various forms of differential item functioning in these models, which also includes differential discrimination and differential guessing effects. It is also robust against moderate violations of several assumptions made in the item parameter estimation.
