A new method for detecting differential item functioning in the Rasch model

Strobl, Carolin; Kopf, Julia; Zeileis, Achim - 2011

Differential item functioning (DIF) can lead to an unfair advantage or disadvantage for certain subgroups in educational and psychological testing. Therefore, a variety of statistical methods has been suggested for detecting DIF in the Rasch model. Most of these methods are designed for the...

A Penalty Approach to Differential Item Functioning in Rasch Models

Tutz, Gerhard; Schauberger, Gunther - In: Psychometrika 80 (2015) 1, pp. 21-43

A new diagnostic tool for the identification of differential item functioning (DIF) is proposed. Classical approaches to DIF allow to consider only few subpopulations like ethnic groups when investigating if the solution of items depends on the membership to a subpopulation. We propose an...

Detection of Differential Item Functioning Using the Lasso Approach

Magis, David; Tuerlinckx, Francis; Boeck, Paul De - In: Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics 40 (2015) 2, pp. 111-135

This article proposes a novel approach to detect differential item functioning (DIF) among dichotomously scored items. Unlike standard DIF methods that perform an item-by-item analysis, we propose the â€œLR lasso DIF methodâ€: logistic regression (LR) model is formulated for all item...

The effects of an increase in power rate on energy demand and output price in Korean manufacturing sectors

Lee, Myunghun - In: Energy Policy 63 (2013) C, pp. 1217-1223

In Korea, price subsidies for industrial power are provided by the government in order to enhance industrial competitiveness and curb inflation. However, this repeatedly causes electricity shortages in the peak summer and winter seasons because of over-consumption. Forcing a decline in the...

Simple t-distribution based tests for meta-analysis

Hartung, J.; Makambi, K. H. - 1999

The variance function of the optimal estimator of the overall mean in a heteroscedastic one-way ANOVA model is dominated by positive semi-definite quadratic functions. This makes it possible to develop closely related tests on the nullity of the overall mean parameter in one-way fixed and random...

Multiple Testing. Part III. Procedures for Control of the Generalized Family-Wise Error Rate and Proportion of False Positives

Laan, Mark van der; Dudoit, Sandrine; Pollard, Katherine - Berkeley Electronic Press - 2004

The accompanying articles by Dudoit et al. (2003b) and van der Laan et al. (2003) provide single-step and step-down resampling-based multiple testing procedures that asymptotically control the family-wise error rate (FWER) for general null hypotheses and test statistics. The proposed procedures...
