Effects of Initial Values and Convergence Criterion in the Two-Parameter Logistic Model When Estimating the Latent Distribution in BILOG-MG 3 [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Parameters of the two-parameter logistic model are generally estimated via the expectation-maximization algorithm, which improves initial values for all parameters iteratively until convergence is reached. Effects of initial values are rarely discussed in item response theory (IRT), but initial values were recently found to affect item parameters when ...

Detection of Differential Item Functioning Using Mantel-Haenszel, Standardization Proportion and BILOG-MG Procedures [PDF]
Global Educational Studies Review, 2021 Differential item functioning (DIF) is a procedure to identify whether an item favours a particular group of respondents once they are matched on respective ability levels. There are numerous procedures reported in the literature to detect DIF, but the Mantel-Haenszel (MH), Standardized Proportion Difference (SPD), and BILOG-MG are frequently used to ...
