Comparison of Empirical and Judgmental Procedures for Detecting Differential Item Functioning.
Hambleton, Ronald K.; Jones, Russell W.
Educational Research Quarterly, v18 n1 p21-36 Sep 1994
A judgmental method for determining item bias was applied to test data from 2,000 Native American and 2,000 Anglo-American students for a statewide proficiency test. Results indicated some shortcomings of the judgmental method but supported the use of cross-validation in empirically identifying potential bias. (SLD)
