An Investigation of Lord's Procedure for the Detection of Differential Item Functioning.

Kim, Seock-Ho; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v18 n3 p217-28 Sep 1994

Type I error rates of F. M. Lord's chi square test for differential item functioning were investigated using Monte Carlo simulations with marginal maximum likelihood estimation and marginal Bayesian estimation algorithms. Lord's chi square did not provide useful Type I error control for the three-parameter logistic model at these sample sizes. (SLD)
