Inferential Conditions in the Statistical Detection of Measurement Bias.
Millsap, Roger E.; Meredith, William
Applied Psychological Measurement, v16 n4 p389-402 Dec 1992
Inferential conditions in the statistical detection of measurement bias are discussed in the contexts of differential item functioning and predictive bias in educational and employment settings. It is concluded that bias measures that rely strictly on observed measures are not generally diagnostic of measurement bias or lack of bias. (SLD)
