Differential Item Functioning Detection with Logistic Regression
résumé – Détection du fonctionnement différentiel d’items par régression logistique La régression logistique a été utilisée comme une méthode d’identification du DIF dans différents contextes. Certaines études ont montré que cette procédure peut être affectée par des variables comme le ratio des tailles entre groupes, la taille de l’échantillon, et qu’elle semble liée avec les gammes de difficu...
متن کاملAssessing Differential Item Functioning on the Test of Relational Reasoning
The test of relational reasoning (TORR) is designed to assess the ability to identify complex patterns within visuospatial stimuli. The TORR is designed for use in school and university settings, and therefore, its measurement invariance across diverse groups is critical. In this investigation, a large sample, representative of a major university on key demographic variables, was collected, and...
متن کاملDifferential item functioning (DIF) analyses of health-related quality of life instruments using logistic regression
BACKGROUND Differential item functioning (DIF) methods can be used to determine whether different subgroups respond differently to particular items within a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) subscale, after allowing for overall subgroup differences in that scale. This article reviews issues that arise when testing for DIF in HRQoL instruments. We focus on logistic regression methods, which...
متن کاملAn overview of differential item functioning in multistage computer adaptive testing using three-parameter logistic item response theory
As perfectly summarised by Ida Lawrence, “Testing is growing by leaps and bounds across the world. There is a realization that a nation’s well-being depends crucially on the educational achievement of its population. Valid tests are an essential tool to evaluate a nation’s educational standing and to implement efficacious educational reforms. Because tests consume time that otherwise could be d...
متن کاملUsing Multiple-Variable Matching to Identify EFL Ecological Sources of Differential Item Functioning
Context is a vague notion with numerous building blocks making language test scores inferences quite convoluted. This study has made use of a model of item responding that has striven to theorize the contextual infrastructure of differential item functioning (DIF) research and help specify the sources of DIF. Two steps were taken in this research: first, to identify DIF by gender grouping via l...
