Direct linkAbu-Ghazalah, Rashid M.; Dubins, David N.; Poon, Gregory M. K. – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
Multiple choice results are inherently probabilistic outcomes, as correct responses reflect a combination of knowledge and guessing, while incorrect responses additionally reflect blunder, a confidently committed mistake. To objectively resolve knowledge from responses in an MC test structure, we evaluated probabilistic models that explicitly…

Mehrazmay, Roghayeh; Ghonsooly, Behzad; de la Torre, Jimmy – Applied Measurement in Education, 2021
The present study aims to examine gender differential item functioning (DIF) in the reading comprehension section of a high stakes test using cognitive diagnosis models. Based on the multiple-group generalized deterministic, noisy "and" gate (MG G-DINA) model, the Wald test and likelihood ratio test are used to detect DIF. The flagged…
