A Simulation Study of Methods for Assessing Differential Item Functioning in Computerized Adaptive Tests.
Zwick, Rebecca; And Others
Applied Psychological Measurement, v18 n2 p121-40 Jun 1994
Simulated data were used to investigate the performance of modified versions of the Mantel-Haenszel method of differential item functioning (DIF) analysis in computerized adaptive tests (CAT). Results indicate that CAT-based DIF procedures perform well and support the use of item response theory-based matching variables in DIF analysis. (SLD)
