Chalmers, R. Philip; Zheng, Guoguo – Applied Measurement in Education, 2023
This article presents generalizations of SIBTEST and crossing-SIBTEST statistics for differential item functioning (DIF) investigations involving more than two groups. After reviewing the original two-group setup for these statistics, a set of multigroup generalizations that support contrast matrices for joint tests of DIF are presented. To…

Van Lissa, Caspar J.; van Erp, Sara; Clapper, Eli-Boaz – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
When meta-analyzing heterogeneous bodies of literature, meta-regression can be used to account for potentially relevant between-studies differences. A key challenge is that the number of candidate moderators is often high relative to the number of studies. This introduces risks of overfitting, spurious results, and model non-convergence. To…

Yesiltas, Gonca; Paek, Insu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
A log-linear model (LLM) is a well-known statistical method to examine the relationship among categorical variables. This study investigated the performance of LLM in detecting differential item functioning (DIF) for polytomously scored items via simulations where various sample sizes, ability mean differences (impact), and DIF types were…
