The Relationship between Differential Distractor Functioning (DDF) and Differential Item Functioning (DIF): If DDF Occurs, Must DIF Occur? [PDF]

, 2020
Differential Distractor Functioning (DDF) and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) are two critical ways for detecting potential test fairness issues. The current study aims to illustrate the relationship between the existence of DDF and that of DIF by ...

Decoding Information Flow in Fund Families: Evolution, Drivers and Impacts

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new measure of information sharing within fund families inferred from trading activity and examines its evolution and managerial drivers. The findings reveal a declining trend in internal information exchange over time, with higher information flow in families characterized by greater managerial interaction.

Transcoder Adapters for Reasoning-Model Diffing

CoRR
While reasoning models are increasingly ubiquitous, the effects of reasoning training on a model's internal mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, we introduce transcoder adapters, a technique for learning an interpretable approximation of the difference in MLP computation before and after fine-tuning.

External structures at the nest‐site predict asymmetric architecture of nests in a mud‐building bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
In the animal kingdom, nests are essential structures and textbook examples of extended phenotypes. However, the relationship between builders, nest traits and the nest‐site remains poorly understood. We indirectly examine whether structures in the nest‐site influence nest‐building behaviour, specifically focusing on their effect on nest architecture ...

The Development and Validation of the Chinese Vocabulary Levels Test

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to the increasing need for effective Chinese vocabulary assessments, this study developed the Chinese Vocabulary Levels Test (CVLT), a test designed for intermediate‐level Chinese as a second or foreign language (CSL/FL) learners, based on the vocabulary lists (levels 4–6) from the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for ...

Incidence of P200 pemphigoid: A nationwide study

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
The anti‐LAMB4 cell‐based immunoassay is a new serological technique that is far superior to dermal immunoblotting for detecting autoantibodies directed against the P200 protein. This method allows a re‐evaluation of the incidence of P200 pemphigoid, which appears to be considerably more frequent than epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.

Tocilizumab for severe and refractory mucous membrane pemphigoid

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Elevated IL‐6 levels identified in mucous membrane pemphigoid support IL‐6 blockade, with tocilizumab demonstrating clinical benefit in nine patients with severe and refractory mucous membrane pemphigoid. Abstract Background Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease involving mucous membranes with a potentially ...

Longevity, Health, and Housing Risk Management in Retirement

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Annuities, long‐term care insurance, and reverse mortgages remain puzzlingly unpopular to manage post‐retirement longevity, health, and housing price risks. We use a flexible life‐cycle model structurally estimated with a unique stated‐preference survey experiment of Canadian households to understand why. Key factors include high risk aversion,
