The Stability of a Partial Correlation Index for Identifying Items that Perform Differentially in Subgroups.
Stricker, Lawrence J.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v44 n4 p831-37 Win 1984
The stability was evaluated of a partial correlation index, comparisons of item characteristic curves, and comparisions of item difficulties in assessing race and sex differences in the performance of verbal items on the Graduate Record Examination Aptitude Test. All three indexes exhibited consistency in identifying the same items in different samples. (Author/BW)
