Extent of Overlap among Four Item Bias Methods.

Devine, Patrick J.; Raju, Nambury S.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n4 p1049-66 Win 1982

Four methods of item bias detection--transformed item difficulty, item discrimination expressed as Clemans' lambda, chi-square, and the three-parameter item characteristic curve--were studied to determine the degree of correspondence among them in identifying biased and unbiased items in reading and mathematics subtests of the 1978 SRA Achievement Series.
