Testing for DIF in a Model with Single Peaked Item Characteristic Curves: The PARELLA Model.

Hoijtink, Herbert; Molenaar, Ivo W.

Psychometrika, v57 n3 p383-97 Sep 1992

The PARallELogram Analysis (PARELLA) model is a probabilistic parallelogram model that can be used for the measurement of latent attitudes or latent preferences. A method is presented for testing for differential item functioning (DIF) for the PARELLA model using the approach of D. Thissen and others (1988). (SLD)
