Peer reviewedCudeck, Robert; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1979
TAILOR, a computer program which implements an approach to tailored testing, was examined by Monte Carlo methods. The evaluation showed the procedure to be highly reliable and capable of reducing the required number of tests items by about one half. (Author/JKS)

Peer reviewedDonoghue, John R.; Allen, Nancy L. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1993
Forming the matching variable for the Mantel-Haenszel differential item functioning (DIF) procedure through use of the total score as the matching variable (thin) and forming the matching variable by pooling total score levels (thick) were compared in a Monte Carlo study. Reasons thick matching is superior are discussed. (SLD)
