Within and Among Population Item Fit with the Simple Logistic Model.

Andrich, David; Kline, Paul

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n1 p35-48 Spr 1981

The Rasch simple logistic model is used to examine the relative item parameter values of a personality inventory with respect to populations cross-classified by sex and country. While items conform to the model within each of the populations, half the items show significant discrepancies among the populations. (Author/RL)
