Li, Hsin-Hung; Stout, William
Psychometrika, v61 n4 p647-77 Dec 1996
A hypothesis testing and estimation procedure, Crossing SIBTEST, is presented for detecting crossing differential item functioning (DIF), which exists when the difference in probabilities of a correct answer for two examinee groups changes signs as ability level is varied. The procedure estimates the matching subtest score at which crossing occurs. (SLD)
