Traditional vs Intersectional DIF Analysis: Considerations and a Comparison Using State Testing Data
Peer reviewed
Direct linkTony Albano; Brian F. French; Thao Thu Vo – Applied Measurement in Education, 2024
Recent research has demonstrated an intersectional approach to the study of differential item functioning (DIF). This approach expands DIF to account for the interactions between what have traditionally been treated as separate grouping variables. In this paper, we compare traditional and intersectional DIF analyses using data from a state testing…

In data collected from virtual learning environments (VLEs), item response theory (IRT) models can be used to guide the ongoing measurement of student ability. However, such applications of IRT rely on unbiased item parameter estimates associated with test items in the VLE. Without formal piloting of the items, one can expect a large amount of…

Wyse, Adam E.; Babcock, Ben – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2016
Continuously administered examination programs, particularly credentialing programs that require graduation from educational programs, often experience seasonality where distributions of examine ability may differ over time. Such seasonality may affect the quality of important statistical processes, such as item response theory (IRT) item…

Keller, Lisa A.; Keller, Robert; Cook, Robert J.; Colvin, Kimberly F. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2016
The equating of tests is an essential process in high-stakes, large-scale testing conducted over multiple forms or administrations. By adjusting for differences in difficulty and placing scores from different administrations of a test on a common scale, equating allows scores from these different forms and administrations to be directly compared…

Hansen, Mark; Cai, Li; Monroe, Scott; Li, Zhen – Grantee Submission, 2016
Despite the growing popularity of diagnostic classification models (e.g., Rupp, Templin, & Henson, 2010) in educational and psychological measurement, methods for testing their absolute goodness-of-fit to real data remain relatively underdeveloped. For tests of reasonable length and for realistic sample size, full-information test statistics…
