IRT-Based Internal Measures of Differential Functioning of Items and Tests.

Raju, Nambury S.; And Others

Applied Psychological Measurement, v19 n4 p353-68 Dec 1995

Internal measures of differential functioning of items and tests (DFIT) based on item response theory (IRT) are proposed. The new differential test functioning index leads to noncompensatory DIF indices. Monte Carlo studies demonstrate that these indices are accurate in assessing DIF. (SLD)
